Re: [LUG] Promotion of Linux in Devon (again)

 

Sounds a good idea,  there is also the  totnes show which is the largest 
one day show in the country I think, I have been twice, so thats another 
option to look into.  Not sure on the cost differences.  

On that note,  what Software is available under OSS that would be 
suitable for farming etc.  I.e we could promote OSS in the farming or 
agriculture industry., 

I did a few quick google searches

French agriculture ministry migrates to Linux.
