As well as contributing to the debate, how about doing something tangible, like ALUG offering to support schools in making the change to Linux?
I sent a post yesterday, but it doesn't seem to have arrived yet...
As I was saying, in agreement with another post, maybe an ALUG signed message to the EDP explaining about linux etc. might be helpful (I also offered to write it if no-one else wants to).
Also, as Ian says might it be a good idea to get a few of us to meet the various heads of IT in schools and perhaps do a demo for them? They may or may not have a say in what OS goes on there computers, but if the latter than maybe enough 'converted' teachers could persuade whoever does decide these things to give linux a go?
Just a thought...
