[Blackpool] Fwd: [Lincoln LUG] E-petition for Linux systems for government business

[Les Pounder]

Hello Blackpool and East Lancs LUGs

Petition for the adoption of Linux and open standards in Government, and
with me being an ex-government IT man, I know exactly how locked in we were.

Pass it on ;)

Thanks
Les

"we all know that the UK Government has dallied over using Linux for
government business, but they appear to stall regularly and only ever
include a small subset of functions in their considerations. So, I've
started a e-petition on the government website calling for a full
review with a view to migrating all systems to open source, and
request that you put your name to it."
