Much of the impetus of last year's (failed)
efforts was undermined by the postponement of
the Brum expo, for which "great things had been 
planned"TM

Now, it seems, there _will_ be an education
round table at Birmingham, which is good news.

The wider question is affs's rôle in promoting
Free Software in education. What do we think
we can offer?
