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

[Alistair Crust]

Interestingly enough the conservative party sent someone to do a report on Skegness Grammar School about 4-5 years ago, they wanted to show that Linux in school really did work... Never did hear anything back about that. Actually it was the same year I appeared in Linux format for the same reason... I'll have to dig the article out and try to find out what came of it, could be useful ammo to add to any petition?

"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."
