[plug] Closure of OSWA

[Stuart Midgley]

I posted this to the forums on the saveopensourcewa.com website... I  
would be interested in people's perspective here.



I have watched with interest the discussion and observed the emails  
on the PLUG email list.

What functionality of OSWA did people actually use? What  
functionality do people want in such a centre? Did people use the  
demonstration centre much? Or was it more a point of contact and  
advocacy?

I'm concerned that people have jumped onto the (general) opensource  
bandwagon without clearly articulating what functionality of the  
centre or use of its resources they are concerned about.
