[Thomas]

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-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/
>
> 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/>

If it takes anyone's fancy.

All the best.
