Re: [LINK] Re: [SLUG] NSW DET to be urged to use OSS

[David]

There is nothing like being able to point to working models to prove your
point. It's pretty compelling if you can say:

"look at Bloggs College.. they use OSS and have done for X months with no
problems, no licence costs, no viruses (!) and no down time"

Computerbank is doing projects for schools and other groups, using old
equipment and Debian builds. So far, what we have done is functional but
limited, but we are slowly building to better things. We have a couple of
school projects in train as we speak.

Watch this space. If it works well (and we believe it will), it will be
some of the best Linux/OSS advocacy imaginable.
