+               <description>&lt;p&gt;In the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project, we have realised that one
+of the major blockers for the project success is the purchasing skills
+in schools and municipalities.  We provide what the happy users of
+Debian Edu / Skolelinux say they need and to a lower cost than the
+alternatives, and yet so few schools decide to use our solution.  I
+was pleased to discover the same observation done by mySociety and Tom
+Steinberg in his blog post
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysociety.org/2012/06/19/can-you-recognize-the-million-pound-chair/&quot;&gt;Can
+you recognize the million pound chair?&lt;/a&gt;&quot;.  Read it and weep for the
+spending of your tax money.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Of course there are other factors involved as well, like our
+projects bad marketing skills and the Linux community fragmentation
+causing worry with the people on the outside, so we as a project need
+to keep working hard to gain users, but it is a up-hill battle when
+public decision makers are unable to understand computer system
+purchases.&lt;/p&gt;
