Greetings all,

It has been rather quiet on the mailing list  front, though it has just been 
announced that:

_http://ossg.bcs.org/2008/04/19/free-software-open-source-the-enabler-for-soci
al-inclusion-lincoln-200508/_ 
(http://ossg.bcs.org/2008/04/19/free-software-open-source-the-enabler-for-social-inclusion-lincoln-200508/) 


Eddie Bleasdale has been working in the area of Unix and now Linux / Free  
Software since the early 1980's. He was responsible for the development of a  
range of Unix computers that were manufactured by BT. For the European  
Commission he was responsible for the development of the Open Source  Migration 
Guidelines. See: _http://www.netproject.com/docs/migoss/v1.0/_ 
(http://www.netproject.com/docs/migoss/v1.0/)  
This presentation will address the issues using technology to enable  Social 
Inclusion. It will consider the following questions: How can the UK  
Government / the European Commission achieve their objectives of providing  care in the 
community? Can this be achieved using existing mainstream  technology? Does 
the Free / Open Source community offer both the technology  and the support to 
provide the public with secure, reliable computing that,  with use, gains the 
trust of the users? 
This is a Joint meeting between OSSG and BCS Lincolnshire. 
Venue: EMMTEC Building at the _University  of Lincoln_ 
(http://www.lincoln.ac.uk/) , Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS. For  directions click _here_ 
(http://lincolnshire.bcs.org/lumap.pdf)  
Talk commences at 1900 hours with light refreshments from 1830  hours.

If it takes anyone's fancy.

All the best.
