You are really going to make this hard LOL I agree with the strong presence at BETTS, but how does that relate to the idea of a formal response to Becta? I'm a bit unclear here. Guess that comes with being a newbie.
what I am pushing for is whether there is any way we - the marketing team - can make, directly or indirectly, a formal response to Becta's request for open software suppliers. If we can assist in getting Ubuntu as a supplier - whether thru Canonical or some other entity - that would provide some real marketing leverage. If we cannot do this in time to formally reply to Becta, perhaps we need to work on putting the parts together before the BETT conference so we can respond appropriately and quickly when another opportunity like this comes along.
