I think at least half of us on the Council have degrees in the physical sciences. I work mostly with scientists and I have to say that in the last 10 years the embrace of FOSS by scientists has been considerable. Who wants to beg the boss for money and with IT for support of SAS when you can just download R and install it yourself, and so on? Of course, it tends to also lead to a bit of a mess when that little tool that was thrown together ends up being depended upon by an entire department and isn't up to it. -- Rich
