hi all

Open Source for Education Development
=====================================

following the abortive attempt to hold a meeting Llandrindod Wells in Sept,
due to the fuel crisis, this has now been re-scheduled and will take place
on :

Thursday 23rd November, at the Metropole Hotel, Llandrindod Wells
-----------------------------------------------------------------

A final agenda has not yet been determined, but the main aims of the meeting
are:-

1. To discuss the future development of Open Source tools, applications etc
for use in schools, including :-
	- direction for development and distribution
	- management and organisation
	- specific projects, including those to be evaluated by Becta's Small Scale
Technology Pilots.
	- potential role of commercial organisations

Given the success of the Powys server project, this will form a main part of
the discussion, hence the location of the meeting.

2. To discuss some of the matters arising from the July Open Source for
Education seminar in Coventry, including finalising reports for Becta and
the DfEE.


The email is an informal inivitation for people who may wish to attend the
meeting, however space will be limited.  If you wish to attend or find out
more about the meeting please contact myself (malc@ngfl.gov.uk). Also, let
me know about further ideas etc and things you would like to discuss.

Further information will be sent out in the next couple of weeks. We'll also
be able to let you know about travel/accomodation arrangements

regards

Malcolm
