"Institutional Web Management Workshop 2002: The Pervasive Web" On Thursday, 20th June 2002 the workshop featured two debates which were held in parallel.
Of interest to software developers and techies in the audience was the debate on the motion "The house believes that the future of Web in UK Higher and Further Education communities lies in the adoption of open source software".
We did not forgetting the managers and non-techies at the workshop as there was a debate on the motion "The house believes that Web Strategies are a waste of time".
As the debates were held in parallel, workshop participants only had the opportunity to vote in one debate. However an online voting form will be available on this Web site after the event in order to allow you to cast your votes for both motions.
The speakers at the debate on Open Source Software were Paul Browning, Brian Kelly, Andrew Savory and Stephen Tanner. The debate was chaired by James Currall, University of Glasgow.

Although perhaps not as lively as arm-wrestling, we hope the debate proved entertaining as well as informative!
The result of the debate was an overwhelming victory for those supporting the motion.
