[wellylug] Open Source in NZ

[Don Jones]

Hello everyone

First - This is my first post to this list - having recently moved to Wellington from Dunedin (where I was/am a member of DunLUG http://dunedin.lug.net.nz ) So hi everyone - I will be attending the meeting on Monday so will hopefully meet some of you there.

Second - I dont know If this has been covered in the list already (sorry if it has) but I encourage you all to read and sign the letter at:

http://www.openz.org/

The letter is an Open letter to the Rt. Hon. Paul Swain, Minister for Information Technology, the Rt. Hon. Pete Hodgson, Minister of Research, Science and Technology, and the Rt. Hon. Trevor Mallard, Minister of State Services encouraging the NZ government to consider an official position favouring "open source" software (OSS) for computing in the government and in business.

Thanks

Don Jones
