People, Given that the new PM, Kevin Rudd, has indicated that ensuring that every senior high school student has a PC is the number one priority for the new government - has there been any discussion about how the FOSS community is going to respond to this? It seems we should be working on proposals immediately. My personal view is that the government should make an in-principle decision to install a FOSS OS on the PCs and let the users (schools) decide if they want to change to a MS OS (at their own cost). I think the PC should be just a wireless client that can be easily reset to factory defaults and all the apps and data should be handled centrally ala gmail etc. Of course a FOSS solution like this will need a support network, maybe something resembling:
