Dermot, I invite you to look over the Schoolforge-UK website at http://www.schoolforge.org.uk and join the SF-UK discussion list http://groups.google.com/group/sf-uk-discuss On the website you'll see there is a FLOSSIE conference (Free, Libre and Open Source Software In Education) being organised in Birmingham (UK) on 12th-13th February 2009, which will be *the* place to meet teachers and IT staff from UK schools using FLOSS. Look forward to meeting you!
