Makes a nice change, I guess.. /. story here: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/04/23/132257 with an intersting comment by Maxwell Cooter @ http://blogs.techworld.com/the-blue-screen/2010/04/freeing-up-code---tale-of-two-cities/?cmpid=TD1B1&no1x1 "Open source is treated as something akin to devil-worshipping in some parts of government. So, the idea that a major project in the government backyard would be based on something as basic as Drupal is pretty far-fetched. No, this side of the Atlantic would have involved a closed-tender process; a decision made by closed doors based on proprietary software and we'd be completely in the dark about costs, about delays, and about functionality." Maybe there's hope for us yet... Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
