ho ho ho, do you think anyone from the Open Source, tier2 hardware league would have been 'invited', i think not. i'll find out what the arrangements are, but it is also an expensive thing to attend.... perhaps an alternative 'open source' roadshow would be better, i'll hire the bus if you want.... regards Malcolm On Thursday 15 February 2001 20:13, Michael Brown wrote:

Last night I attended a DfEE/NGfL meeting entitled "The Classroom of the Future" as a Governor of our local Primary School. This is one of a series of meeting. It was an interesting meeting but seemed mainly targeted at secondary schools. However, there were only four exhibitors; BECTA, BBC, BT and Microsoft. There was no evidence of Open Source even when I questioned the BECTa representative. Was SuSE invited to attend this? It Doesn't look like it from the list of exhibitors in the back of the glossy handout. Is it worth volunteering? I think there are more to come.
Don't know about SuSE, but Fen Systems definitely weren't invited. It's something we would definitely be interested in being involved with given the choice - does the brochure give a relevant contact person?
