Hi folks, James Bowen is writing some stories on open source for the National Capital Scan newspaper and would appreciate some input from the community about the local environment. In contrast to some tech writers, I think of James as one of us - a software guy. He is also an entrepreneur, prof at UofO, and competitive ski-jumping champion (one of the previous statements is not true). Please contact him at jbowen @ ces. on. ca if you have input on any of the following very, very specific topics: * Local open source success stories * How local open source people / activities are changing the world * Etc. ________
