o.s. office

[Austin]

I was walking through the new Technology Enhanced Learning Building today at  
work (YorkU/Seneca), and saw them installing this crazy fancy new office  
called the o.s. office.  It's got huge painted glass windows with open source  
slogans painted all over it, mentioning Linux as possibly the largest  
worldwide community effort ever or something, and the value of open source  
software, etc. etc.  It looks very cool.

I was almost late to teach a class and I didn't have my camera, but I'll be  
sure to take some pics on Monday and post a link.

This is very surprising, becuase in the two years I've worked there, my  
exclusive use of linux on my three workstations has been unsupported, mocked,  
and disregarded.  Also, my hundreds of hours of work on distributing  
scientific software for linux got zero support from the university.

Maybe I can finally convince them to set up a Mandrake mirror.
