Hi all,
Just a thought I wanted to put to the list. Considering today's news [1]
and in particular the demise of Becta, the government's technology
agency for schools, is there an opportunity for FOSS to replace some or
all of what Becta used to provide?
I have no idea what sort of software a school needs but I suspect
something like:
* Office software;
* Some sort of basic ERP;
* Basic document management;
* Course management software;
* Central user management with mass updates once a year when
pupils change.
Between all of us, would we be able to produce a blueprint of how to
deliver such a system using open source software? And would such a
blueprint be useful to those of us who run businesses or are involved in
their local communities in order to help push FOSS into schools?
