Yeah, they do pretty much happen all the time. Microsoft's criminal
conviction is mostly irrelevant; since our country runs a lot of their
software their views are 'important'.

You missed the interesting meeting coming up in November though...

"Open Source in the Public Sector"

I think that would be the one to try to get into. I've met someone from
Kablenet before, and I know CDR have contacts with them. It would be
worth dropping them a line.

gnu.org servers are usually quite slow, but seem very slow at the
moment. I don't know whether it's something to do with the virus
outbreak, but there do seem to be severe issues at the moment.

Cheers,
