HFOSS Humanitarian world boosted by free and Open Source software
Saw this today on http://www.linuxnewshere.com
"The Humanitarian FOSS Project is a collaborative, community-building
project that was started by a group of computing faculty and open source
proponents at Trinity College, Wesleyan University, and Connecticut
College. Our goal is to build a community of academic computing
departments, IT corporations, and local and global humanitarian and
community organizations dedicated to building and using Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS) to benefit humanity.
Established in 2007, with funding from the Directorate for Computing &
Information Science & Engineering (CISE) of The National Science
Foundation (NSF) under its Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate
Computing Education program (CPATH), the HFOSS Project has been engaged
in numerous activities since its start."
