[Duraspace] Bringing Open Source to Scientific Research | FOSS Force

[Hilton Gibson]

I already knew that academia is behind the curve when it comes to IT, from
my non-tech part time job at a local university library. For starters,
there’s the over
​ ​
reliance on Windows. Then there’s the use of poorly designed proprietary
products when perfectly acceptable GPL solutions exist — not to mention the
look of scorn and fright coming from the IT people whenever the term “free
and open source” is uttered within their hearing.
