OSS Watch, http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/, announces its 2nd conference:
Support Models for Open Source Deployment.
http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/events/2004-06-03/

This **FREE** conference is for UK higher or further education institutions.
It is aimed at:

* Decision-makers concerned with cost implications of deployment decisions

Are you considering deploying an open source solution, but concerned about
support implications? Are you interested in learning how similar colleges
and universities manage their support issues? Do you manage an in-house team
providing support for your institution? Are you wondering how your team
would cope with a decision to deploy an open source solution? This
conference is for you.

Please register to attend today

the number of delegates attending from a single institution.
