Hans De Four works part-time for a Microsoft "for Schools" project and
part-time in a function at "KlasCement" paid by the Flemish Government
Education Department where he (a.o. things) started a mailing list about
open source at school, a corner on their site about this and he helped
to get some talks at an IT for schools fair co-organised by Microsoft &
Klascement (IIRC).

Marc Coevoets seems to have a personal problem with Hans De Four, and I
think I have read his accusations against De Four on about every mailing
list that I follow (and on some mailing lists I had to read it at
_least_ 10 times now).

I'm not sure, but Mark VDB has put him in "moderated" modus on one of
those mailing lists a mention above, as those rants were completely
off-topic there, and Marc Coevoets kept sending these accusation-mails
over en over again, even after being warned several times...
