[Fsfe-uk] FLOSSIE Conference 2009 - 12/13 Feb - Birmingham

[MJ Ray]

Bit surprised this hasn't reached here yet... also rather disappointed
that there's a discount for using Paypal (who are refusing to
recognise my company's registration number and my credit card - I
thought M6-IT CIC would have the same problem).

Anyway, please pass this on to any exec staff types you know.

 This conference is aimed at a broad spectrum of educational

 Software can allow them to implement sustainable school ICT services,
 expanding ICT provision while controlling costs.
