Seneca College teams with FOSS projects for hands-on learning
,----[ Quote ]
| That makes the benefit to Seneca's students clear, but why are Mozilla and
| Fedora so willing to work with Seneca? In Mozilla's case, part of the reason
| may be that some of the grant money goes directly toward paying the costs of
| Mozilla employees who fly in to give presentations. However, there are also
| more indirect benefits for the projects involved.

|
| DeKonigsberg says much the same, suggesting that, by working with the FOSS
| community, where sharing information is a prime virtue, Seneca is helping
| post-secondary education return to its original ideals.
|
| "This is what universities are supposed to be about -- the creation and
| dispersal of knowledge," DeKongisberg enthuses. "Increasingly, universities
| are about locking up knowledge for profit. My hope is that we can make sure
| that, at least in the software world, we're putting up a good fight against
| that happening."
