   The Adult Learning and library services do charge for the courses that
they run, but they refuse to allow us to run a FOSS beginner course,
providing comparisons where possible.

   I have spoken to the Ealing contract IT person, and he just said no. I
have no way to discover how many IT staff there are, but there may be nobody
else. I have offered to help with the Learning Suite, the answer was again
no.
   My local councillors are well aware of our aims, but have agreed that the
council appears to be run purely for the benefit of the council staff.
