Cambridge University buys greener energy!
A few weeks ago Cambridge University purchased its new supply contract for electricity for the next two years. They opted to go for a deal with Scottish and Southern which contains 76% Hydroelectric power, 23% Wind/Wave/Solar and 1% fossil fuels. This is a massive improvement over the previous contract of 12% Green energy sources and 88% fossil fuels!

Software Patents Forum
Yesterday a very interesting forum on Software patents was held in Cambridge. After listening to a speaker from the Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII), various candidates in the upcoming European elections gave submisisions on their position on the issue. This was then followed by a wide ranging discussion on the subject. Here's what came out of the event for me.
