Consider the options for maximizing value

Australia's open source community leaders have written an open letter to
Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard calling for consideration of free
and open source software in the implementation of the Digital Education
Revolution for the National Secondary School Computer Fund.

The letter, signed by 10 local open source professionals, calls for
greater use of free and open source software in schools, particularly
with the election promise of $1000 to fund a computer for every
secondary student in the country.
