Nope. They're providing m$ boxen for the evacuees. That's all they're
gonna see.
The best way for us to get the gov't ( and other orgs ) to recognize
standards and Free Software is to increase the market share of
standards-compliant Free Software in use.
In order to do that we have to improve usability and maintainability of
Free Software. We also need to be more efficient at helping people convert
to Free Software.
Tonight's presentation on The Open CD is meant to help address the second
