Hi all, as a member of the AI Dept. at UoM, I would suggest that you hold some form of regular discussion between the Linux user group and the Faculty of ICT. I am not sure if there is some kind of liaison already in place or not.
What I know for sure is that the focus on Linux/UNIX has decreased over the years, which will obviously have knock-on effects in industry since there is a lack of serious expertise on Linux (it would also help to show proper surveys of the demand for Linux in industry though).
