Hi,
I signed up to the Manchester Free Software list because I saw a post from Matt
on the Infopoint list. I've no idea who else is here, but I thought I'd
introduce myself and mention one thing going on in the region that you might
not be aware of.
I'm one of the owners of Axiom Tech, a local IT company specialising in FLOSS.
Our aim is to grow Axiom Tech and the whole sector to allow more people to make
a living from FLOSS. We're getting there slowly :-)
I'm also involved in the Open Schools Alliance, an organisation dedicated to
campaigning to get more FLOSS into schools (openschoolsalliance.org). We're
arranging a conference on 19th October in Liverpool and looking to get 100-150
educational decision makers (senior staff, local authority people, etc.) along.
Currently confirmed speakers include someone from Stockport Local Authority
(which has recently implemented a FLOSS web/email system for all the Stockport
schools) and one of the key people from Moodle.
We've got a good team organising the event, but we do need more help so if
anyone fancies getting involved, let me know.
Cheers,
Iain.
