[dundee] Open source debate

Tue Oct 26 14:06:09 UTC 2010

Sing and dance? ;)

I suggest areas like copyright law(s), technology in education, could be
interesting to discuss? 

Obviously, it's more fun if people can think of some nice eclectic
questions.

I'll talk about a few things I've been up to first and then we can have a
bit of a chat about things?

See you all later. :)

P.s. Sorry if I've managed break threading in peoples mail clients. :(
