[Sheflug] Sheffield Green Party: Linux for Sheffield City Council

[Julian R C Briggs <J.Briggs [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Shef-LUGers,

Sheffield Green Party is considering adding "Linux for Sheffield
City Council" to its manifesto for the local elections in May/June
this year.

One proposal is that Sheffield City Council use Linux initially in
schools.

I'm looking for pointers to other city councils, schools in
Sheffield etc who have explored or implemented this.

Basicly I'm a Linux enthusiast and I'm trying to assess, is it a
feasible, sensible thing to put in a manifesto now?

Thanks

Julian
