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.
