Open Options: Remix Computing with Open Source Software (event at Millersville University)
About
Millersville University in Millersville (near Lancaster) is hosting an event called Open Options: Remix Computing with Open Source Software.
The event is designed to introduce students and faculty to the concept and philosophy of open source software. It will consist of approximately a 1 hour round table discussion on Open Source and approximately 1 hour of casual demonstrations, discussion and questions (think: tables with demos, people wandering around, cookies, coffee, chat).
