[ubuntu-za] Durban city asks library advice - who can present case for Foss

[Vincent Swart]

I guess the problem isn't as much which system to use but which service
provider to use. Are there local F/OSS support providers capable of
implementing something for this?

There aren't any precedents of free software use in libraries in this
country but perhaps there are overseas.

Vin.
