Subject: BECTA
Just in case anyone hasn't heard, we were unsuccessful with the BECTA
contract. Apparently some company that has no known experience or track record in FOSS won it. Looking at the detailed assessment criteria, they seem skewed away from FOSS and towards subjective judgements about what professional attributes are important in such a project. Of course none of that detail was in the spec so I'm afraid I naturally assumed a track record of building FOSS communities in the target education sector would be important. Clearly that was a critical error. Apologies. Ian You have received this email from the following company: The Learning You must Sign in before you can post messages.
