[LUG] Open source in Torbay

[Henry Bremridge <henry.bremridge@xxxxxxxxx>]

1/ They have 1698 computers
2/ They have never rejected any Open Source software. So no business
cases
3/ They agree that they **SHOULD** ask Vendors to offer open source
solutions
4/ They have not yet stated how many licenses of what software they have

Next step I suppose:

- Write to CEO and ask when is business case for Open Source going to be
  done as they admit they SHOULD investigate Open source

- Write fresh FoI and ask for number of licenses

I will probably hold off until DCC come back to me
