FAMILY FIRST MLC,
Dennis Hood, will make submissions in the South Australian Legislative Council
today - calling for IT funding criteria to be opened up, so that our school
children can benefit from the Free and Open Source Software
'revolution'.
The Hon Dennis Hood will also call for a computer
demonstration lab to be set up in S.A., so that schools, libraries, and other
institutions can decide whether 'open source' is for them.
"Open Source
often has significant advantages over proprietary software. With developers all
over the world freely and constantly improving the software, it is little wonder
that many Open Source solutions are now outpacing Microsoft solutions", Mr Hood
said.
A copy of Mr Hood's speech to the Legislative Council is
attached.
