Re: [Fsfe-uk] Early Day Motion for Parliament on FLOSS

[Jon Grant]

Hi,

It's title seems to be "Software in Schools"! so if you do contact your
MP, that would be better to use, I've just contacted my MP.

EDM 179
SOFTWARE IN SCHOOLS
21.11.2006

Pugh, John
That this House congratulates the Open University and other schools,
colleges and universities for utilising free and open source software to
deliver cost-effective educational benefit not just for their own
institutions but also the wider community; and expresses concern that
Becta and the Department for Education and Skills, through the use of
outdated purchasing frameworks, are effectively denying schools the
option of benefiting from both free and open source software and the
value and experience small and medium ICT companies could bring to the
schools market.

If you click Printable view you can see if your MP has already signed.
Not sure why some are in /italic/ though. 19 signatures so far.

Cheers
Jon
