Maybe not directly related to this thread, but rather than start a new thread from a visitor such as myself, I hope no one minds if I extend this invitation here.

I'd like to invite anyone interested in participating to check out the Free Ontario initiative begin run by myself at http://therabidpenguin.blogspot.com.  In a nutshell, I want to try stir things up a bit in Ontario and get the discussion around Free/Libre Open Source Software going among Ontario Politicians.

Change seems to need to come from the top, as much as we've been pushing from the bottom, so the basic plan is this:  since they gave us "Family Day" for free, let's give them some free software for free!  Imagine the tax dollars that could be saved just by using Open Source alternatives to things like Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop!
