What do they say?
SIGOSSEE supports a Special Interest Group on open source software in education, and provides access to publications, discussions and collaborative activities.
The Special Interest Group in Open Source Software for Education in Europe (SIGOSSEE) has been established to investigate, inform, and advise the education community on the uses and benefits of Open Source Software and Open Content.

The activities and services for the SIG include :
- The organisation of regional ‘open door’ days providing advice and guidance on open source
- Undertaking research into key issues impacting on the development and implementation of Open Source Software in education
- The organisation of national and regional seminars
- The development of a catalogue of Open Source developments and software for education
- The development of a catalogue of examples of good practice
