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."
