[Sussex] UK Schools told OSS

[paul at paulgraydon.co.uk]

Wow... how slow is the BBC.  That report was pulished, what, a month
ago?
You can view the entire report here:

I've had a copy sitting on my desk at work for a few weeks certainly :-)
The cost savings in the report are rather eye opening for the
unbelievers in open source software.  That combined with a demonstration
is good for encouraging a switch to Linux / OSS in schools.  At least
one secondary school near here uses OpenOffice.org, so I'm told.

The UK government's school computing agency, Becta, has said schools
could
save costs by switching to what is known as open source software.
