[SlugBug] Voluntary/charity & their suppliers Open Source survey

[Gary Stimson]

Anyone in charities/voluntary or supplying such orgs should find this
quick survey well worth completing.

Some reports are that it needs Acrobat 7 and complaints that the survey
is a bit inaccessible to people using free software. I printed it using
KPDF 0.4 and am posting it back :-)

Dear All

Firstly, apologies for the inevitable cross posting.


NCC has been commissioned to build the use of Open Source by the UK
voluntary and community sector by the ICT Hub funded by the Home Office
to improve the sector's ICT infrastructure.

This new Open Source initiative, OS Hub,  will help local community
groups benefit from Free and Open Source technology and will help Open
Source suppliers meet the sector's growing expectations.

To begin with we need to put together a snapshot of existing provision
and support, to that end we have created a rapid survey: two pdf survey
forms for either voluntary and community organisations or suppliers and
support organisations. W

e wish to conduct a quick survey. This should not take long, and there
is* an excellent prize to be drawn after the close of the survey on May
10th.!*

The short set of questions can be found in the attached pdfs, and on the
web site at http://www.ncc.co.uk/research/projects/os_hub.cfm . Please
respond to OSHub at ncc.co.uk <mailto:OSHub at ncc.co.uk>.

I hope that this is of some interest to you,  and  would also ask if
that you pass it on to anyone who might be interested.


Many thanks

Regards

Ed Downs
