Becta Liaison Group
From Schoolforge-UK
Today, 5th May 2005 we have reached agreement with Becta to lead the group of FLOSS communites in their discussions with Becta. This follows the meetings that have been held over the past few months. Following negotiations with many different parties, this e-mail has been sent to Paul Shoesmith at Becta.
Dear Paul, I am pleased to be able to formally offer Schoolforge UK as the lead representative from the Free, Libre and Open Source Software community in their discussions with Becta. We have, with the support of the Open Source Consortium, formed a working group which contains a representation from a very wide set of groupings. We are sure we will be able to offer you a single point of contact with these diverse communities. I hope that this is the beginning of a very postive relationship between Becta and Schoolforge UK. For the time being can e-mails for this channel of communication be sent to this address: blg@schoolforge.org.uk rgds, Richard Rothwell Chair Schoolforge UK www.schoolforge.org.uk
