Open Source Software for schools (previously RE: Re: [Yr7-10it] Electronic booking systems)

[Rachelle McLean]

Hi Con,

Thanks so much for this Open Source document.  I've been trying to push
Open Source software in Multimedia and Media circles.  Would you mind if
I posted your link on their mailing lists?

Cheers,

OK. I've added Free Mind in the next version, however GameMaker & Irfan,
although obviously impressive, don't appear to be open source, which
means
they fall outside our bailiwick.

Thanks for the input.
