Night all,
INTRO
I've been thinking a lot about the possibilities for development
of free software in a funded, not for profit environment.
Not just donated time, but people being paid to write software.
But not software that sells, software that helps people to use
computers and therefore live better.
PROPOSITION/QUESTION
I see that there are three avenues for development of free
software at univesities. I'm interested to hear of people doing
any of the following or if there is free software development
other than fits into these categories.
1) Computer Science undergraduate, honours and postgrad projects.
2) Research projects. Such as Jeff Kingston at Sydney Uni working
on lout stuff.
3) Government/Business grants to get software written. Does this
happen at all?
Some thoughts?
Chuck
