Or is the grant being given by someone else. Its an UK/EU government grant from what I read on the website, and the goals seem to be to do a IT Plan for 100 businesses and do 'some training' for 200 IT businesses over the space of 2 years. I'm afraid I'm rather underwhelmed with how that kind of money is spent, especially when you compare it to skillswap and whats been happening in bristol, or the open source centre in birmingham, A. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
