[Fsfe-uk] Introducing OSS Watch

[Ross Gardler]

Thanks to Andrew who drew my attention to the message from Jon Grant re 
the OSS Watch newsletter. We've fixed the dodgy email link (ooops), it 
should be info <at> oss-watch.ac.uk

Since Jon has never heard of us I imagine others here are in the same 
position. So I thought I'd introduce us.

We are an advisory service to the UK Higher and Further education sector 
on all things Free and Open Source. That is we advise on legal issues, 
procurement and software development. For more information see 
http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/about/

Our relationship with FSFE and FSFE-UK is not as strong as it could be. 
Last year we updated our advisory committee and invited Phil Hands to 
represent the Free Software point of view. My understanding that Phil is 
a member of FSFE-UK. Unfortunately Phil has been unable to participate 
in any of our three advisory meetings to date.

For more information about our advisory committee see 
http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/advisory/membership.xml

I'm now subscribed to this list and I see it is fairly low traffic so I 
might even stay subscribed. I look forward to seeking opportunities for 
positive collaboration.

Ross
