I have just had a meeting with senior people in BECTA and there is
interest in devising ways of getting OOo onto all new PCs sold to
schools. This isn't as straightforward as it might at first sound
because schools buy independently from a vast number of different
suppliers. I have some ideas but if anyone has any of their own let me
know so I can provide some options.

Hm. This is great news, but I'm curious, as I'm sure others here are, too, about the details.What sort of ideas do you have? I'd be also curious about support--it's the usual issue.
