I can ask him to put us in contact with the right person. I myself am a rather new ubuntu-user, so I will not be able to convince Oxfam. But you guys might... I will come back to you if I have any news.

I have been in contact with a lot of people in oxfam stores who have never heard of foss, here and there a manager of a communal store who is interested, but they all point me to Oxfam Belgium for real adoption. Lets not forget that "de wereld winkel" is not managed by the same persons as the people who put foss on pc's. Me as a single individual will not have any impact on oxfam belgium "wereldwinkels". But an organisation or company may. Kind regards J?rgen ------------------------------ </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
