Hi
I can only speak from what I know from my days with MySQL AB and what I know
about who is using my own app, Rekall
MySQL is/was used by Oxford University as part of there contribution to the
Human Genome Project - that's the biggy
Huddersfield and Sheffield Universities Computer Science Dept use MySQL
Nottingham Trent University use both MySQL and Rekall in preference to MS
Abcess
I believe one Dept at Cambridge are using MySQL and Rekall
The OU are trialling MySQL and Rekall for their course M358 Relational
Databases
Rekall is very popular in US schools and colleges. Big organizations like
Fujitsu, IBM and Vodafon are using Rekall

My second though is on Higher education at universities. I heard that most universities use Open Source Office Packages. This is obviously a very important point to raise. Schools have a high percentage of their students moving on to Universities. I would like to use this as an argument at my school with the senior management. Recently we spent about £10,000 to buy MS Office licenses despite my fruitless fight to introduce Staroffice. I would like to prove that universities use Open source software but I need references. How can I get a list of Uni's that use Open Source etc.
