Schoolforge-UK affiliates with the Open Source Consortium

The primary aim of Schoolforge-UK is 'to bring together individuals and organisations that advocate, use, and develop open resources for UK schools and colleges'. The Open Source Consortium (OSC) is an association of Open Source companies, to which several of our corporate members already belong. In response to the meeting with Becta on 14/4/05, it has been agreed with OSC that Schoolforge-UK will drive the OSC's Education Working Group, with the aim of achieving widespread adoption of Open Source solutions in UK education.

In the same way that we are affiliated with AFFS, the Education Working Group will include members drawn from both Schoolforge-UK and OSC.
