To FOSS software or to articles about it?

For software, there's a thread on boards.ie for that kind of thing.

There's a good free ebook available on Tim O'Reilly's site by a load of advocates including Linus Torvalds (the guy behind Linux), Richard Stallman (the original free software advocate and still a really important figure), Robert Young (founder of Red Hat, one of the biggest Open source based companies), etc. They discuss it as a philosophy, business plan, design method, etc. You could read the whole thing in a day or two, and you'd get a good flavour of the 'movement'.

fair play. literally it was just called "open source software"
think it was in terms of its use in companies.

How about a tourism tie in with the local EL clubs?

See the thread about the two Bologna fans who adopted Cork City... it's got possibilities....

Doing another thing on the Artists Tax Exemption today and threw a paragraph in at the end saying it could be extended to sport and the likes of the eL and the rugby players along with a handful of boxers, athletes and golfers.
