I laughed out loud at this. It's humble, hilarious, and exactly right. Look, the FOSS world has done plenty to alienate academia already, whether intentionally or not. From where I sit, the greatest single value of TOS is in having a set of professors who are deeply sympathetic to the FOSS idea and its potential, but can guide us through the labyrinth of academia. Which is, incidentally, exactly what POSSE is, only in reverse. It's a set of FOSS advocates who are deeply sympathetic to the potential of academia to enhance FOSS immeasurably, but can guide professors through the labyrinth of FOSS. --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free.
