Hi all,

I work as Andrew Evan's legal / policy advisor (Member of the 
Legislative Council, South Australia - Family First).

Every few months in parliament, a Member will raise a 'matter of 
interest' on a topic. Mr Evans has made submissions on open source 
software in the past, in a second reading speech. There's a _chance_ we 
could submit something about Ubuntu (Eft?) / open source later this year 
or early next year, if nothing else comes up urgently in the meantime.

It would be a way for us to get some great advertising for Ubuntu / open 
source amongst the State leaders. A good slant would be the cost and 
other benefits to having more open source software / Ubuntu in S.A. 
schools and government organizations.

Highest quality is required for parliamentary submissions (no 1337 
speak!). Could you please work out who would be good at writing two or 
three pages up for parliament.
