ACS policy on Open Source Software
Woo hoo! 
Over the last 6 months we have seen a complete turn around of ACS (Australian Computer Society), in large because of the President Edward Mandla who has a rabid interest in Open Source. Edward seemed to feel that Open Source has a great future, without knowing exactly what it is. Enter the community! I was approached to help ACS get some policy on Open Source, and I pulled together some of the Open Source community to advise ACS including people from several LUGs, AUUG, ACS, and some legal support. We published our drafts to the linux-aus mailing list, spoke to several organisations on it, and came up with some suggestions for ACS, as a team. We were happy to work with ACS, and I wish more organisations would turn to the community for their information on Open Source. It is where the expertise is, after all
The ACS Policy was presented to the public about 2 weeks ago. Enjoy
