I like this bit:“During the discussion of the bill on school
reorganisation, the Government and MPs had clearly been manipulated by lobbies,
which claimed that giving priority to Free Software was not possible. We welcome
the positive move of the Government and MPs, who went back to rating general
interest higher than the private interest of a few companies. Free Software is a
way to make sure that everyone has access to information, and that students
aren't just consumers of digital products,”said Jeanne Tadeusz, April's
Public Affairs Officer. I can guess who was doing the lobbying. Any,
or most likely all, of the usual suspects.The Raspberry Pi is obviously of
relevance in education, but the French being whe they are, I imagine that they
will be developing one of their own, and making it in France. No bad thing if
they do, as there is room for a whole range of cheap computing devices in the
market. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
