Dave reported good reception of the emerging FOSS class ideas, and the
possibility of some dedicated, or at least, occasional use of space in the
new Innovations Center.

 Hi all.

We did have a good set of meetings and will be working with Dave F and folks
at RIT to find support for offering the seminar throughout the academic year
and setting up a formal coop program within the Innovation Center.  Not
really sure what class ideas you are referring to Tyler.  SJ

Hey all,

Does anyone mind if I move this thread to the MathFour mailing list?

We came up with a huge amount of material for next quarter that would
be useful if publically archived.
