We started a campaign in the Netherlands:
The Dutch government wants to tie the country's schools to a single
software vendor for years to come. Dutch students using Free Software
or devices without Silverlight-support will find themselves locked out
of schools' online systems due to the use of proprietary technology
and closed standards. Marja Bijsterveldt, the secretary of education,
recently said that she is unwilling to enforce the Dutch government's
own Open Standards policy on educational institutions. Instead, the
government will accept long-term vendor lock-in of educational
institutions.
