Collabora deal will provide savings on Open Source office softwar

A new deal between the Crown Commercial Service and Collabora Productivity will provide public sector organisations with savings on Open Source office software.
All we need now is for colleges to start using this software too as part of their teaching, or at least make people aware that there are alternatives out there.
