Hi, Today there is a Bid Notice in the Monitor to supply 130 schools in Uganda with computers. There is not much more information in the advertisement.
For the interest of the students, I think it would be very benifitial if the computers would run FLOSS. There are a few arguments for that, which I think UCC should take into consideration when assigning the final bid. This being the LUG, i presume there are quite a number of people on this list that agree with me. What can we, as a community do, to get our point across to UCC and allow these 130 schools to run software that they can maintain, learn, translate and extend? -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 758 801 749 www.mountbatten.net http://twitter.com/batje http://twitter.com/mapuganda _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
