Chris, et. al. Please pardon me if this has been addressed before, but I will not be able to attend the meeting and I would like to send an email (or even real letter) to this board with some ideas.
Your last email inspired me, because the "the mostly technology-unsavvy committee members" might not grasp the fact that FOSS would allow LOCAL high-tech people to help fix problems, not just someone at a long-distance "contract" house. Red Hat and Novell have large development facilities in Mass, with a considerable number of their employees living in New Hampshire. In other words, FOSS inspires LOCAL high-tech employment, not just "installation and integration" (although those jobs are available too). Who should we write (or email) a reasonably well-worded document? md -- Jon "maddog" Hall Executive Director Linux International(R) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 80 Amherst St. Voice: +1.603.672.4557 Amherst, N.H. 03031-3032 U.S.A.
