[Fwd: FOSS in universities]

[Sandor Z Nemeth]

Dear Richard,

If you wish I can share my personal experience with open source in the
School of Mathematics and the School of Computer Science at the
University of Birmingham. I guess it should be a similar situation in
other schools and other universities around UK.

Kind regards,
Sandor
