This Media Centre is designed to help you contact the right people in the OSC for media related issues and to track news on Open Source Software using our RSS service.

Representatives from the OSC regularly provide comment on matters relating to the use of Open Source Software.

Commentators

All our commentators have real experience of deploying Open Source Software in corporate or public sector environments. They live and breathe Open Source Software and are committed to further widen understanding of how it can help organisations reduce costs and improve performance.

Don't be caught getting advice from software vendors jumping on the Open Source bandwagon or quangos promoting the next 'revolutionary' Open Source portal.

What is RSS?

RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs.

But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins etc.

It simply takes the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the very latest information that you are interested in.

We've collected a series of RSS feeds together that address Free and Open Source Software - making the task of keeping up-to-date even easier.
