Open source finds a home in Brum:
Software centre to open in the New Year...
By Tim Ferguson, 25 October 2006

"An institute that aims to promote the use of open source software in
the UK is being set up in Birmingham. The National Open Centre (NOC)
will aim to help set national policy on use of open source software.

"Founding partners of the NOC include the National Computing Centre,
Birmingham City Council and the council-led Digital Birmingham
initiative, which aims to build an IT future for a city with an
industrial past. Open source project partners include OpenAdvantage,
which works with the University of Central England, and Midland Open
Source Technologies."
