Earlier this year there was a thread on the Linux Australia mailing list called 'technology alphabet'. It prompted me to have a go at creating an alphabet of Free and Open Source Software. If you're interested in adding to the list, just go ahead at http://openeducation.org.au/wiki/index.php/The_ABC_of_FLOSSware

Dear Minister Stephen Conroy,

I'd like to add voice to a growing chorus of disdain.
Please don't implement mandatory filtering of the Internet.

I have three key areas of concern.

1. It will be ineffective and slow down connection speeds for everyone.
2. The government should not decide what I can and can not view in the privacy of my own home.
3. The very concept of "illegal information" needs to be examined.

 Tomorrow morning I'm doing a talk at the K12 Open Minds Conference in Indianapolis.

Grab a copy of the slides: OpenRoad.pdf, view the video - and follow these links to some of the references.
