I think this is way too much fuss about a screenshot. It's just the filler pic on the paper, let hope its not sour grapes. Good news is good news, even if it comes from the devil :-p
Anyway I hink what we need is a press release from MLUG ... I would rather see the actual document than rely on the times, but on the princple of beat the iron while hot I would write something on these lines: " The MLUG welcomes with great enthusiasm the government's new position with regards to OSS. It is high time that the reality that is OSS in the ICT world was acknowledged. MLUG is confident that now Malta's true potential as an ICT hub can reallisticaly be achieved. MLUG would like to point out that OSS's Development model is a technological reflection of the principles of Solidarity, Subsidiarity and Transperency; Values which are very dear to the European Project, therfore it is only natural that governmets should look positivly upon this technology. The Maltese industry has already started embracing OSS, so MLUG would like to take this opportunty to thank the ICT companies which sponsor it and its mirror service: Megabyte, GO, 2X, Philip Toledo and Prisma. These sponsorships are evidence that OSS offers true possibilities for multi-stakeholder collaboration. Those who are not familiar with Linux or Open Source software are invited to visit MLUG's website at linux.org.mt and download a live CD wich can be run on any pc without affecting your system. If you like what you see or are already considering installing Linux, MLUG's mirror at mirror.linux.org.mt hosts the Ubuntu flavor of inux which is one of the most poplular with desktop home users. " before sending this we should update the discover page to give instruction on downloading and burining knoppix and provide a link to infra recorder and link to that page on the front page.
