[FM Discuss] NZ School goes Open Source

[John Curwood]

Hi Everyone,

Reading the email to the list Regarding "Bachelor thesis + german
translations of FM" triggered a memory of an article I randomly came
across a couple of weeks ago regarding a NZ high school that is almost
completely running on open source software.

The school is run on a set of open principles including: open planned
spaces and open classes, and the school's leadership felt that they
couldn't achieve these objectives using proprietary software and so
adopted Open Sourced solutions for their requirements. 

You can see the original article at the link below:

Also the Vice Principle of the School who spearheaded the conversion to
Open Source has a blog about their use of open source at the following:
