[ubuntu-uk] Fwd: [sf-uk-discuss] An 'open source manifesto' to counter the ICT cuts

[pmgazz]

This is interesting - but last time I tried to work with a school they 
were stuck with a preferred MS supplier by the LA and there was also a 
problem with electronic whiteboard drivers for Ubuntu/Linux? Obviously, 
this doesn't stop them from using FOSS on MS Win but I wonder if anyone 
knows about driver availability for the whiteboards now?
