That and the fact that its really difficult to figure out what FOSS
activity is happening here at NCSU. There is quite a lot...impressively
so.

One of the goals of Campus Linux Services is to provide some framework
for the FOSS work in the NCSU community. Build collaboration. Offer
hosted services such as wiki space, SCM repositories, and hopefully Trac
in the future. Help make NCSU the Open Source University that we said
we were back in 2000. :-)

Now that the semester has started back up...you LUG'ers may be
interested in the Open Source Initiative that I've been working on:
