I do not know if Ottawa U has change it polices regarding Open source technology. But a couple of years ago I was taking a course (CSI 1306) and I was told I could only hand in my assignments in Microsoft Office formats. I brought Ms Office then couple of week went by. Then my pride got the best of me. I said to self wait a minute I signed up for a course that supportively support Open source Technology and if hand my assignments with open office I get penalize, I was going to go to the student union with this issue. I had a family issue come up and I did not pursue my studies and this issue. I am going back to school next year in BC and I hope I will be able to use my Openoffice and other open source technology Jeffrey Dean Moncrieff Moncrieff consulting IT Vancouver/Ottawa jeffrey [ dot ] moncrieff [ at ] yahoo [ dot ] ca ________________________________ From: John C Nash <nashjc [ at ] uottawa [ dot ] ca> To: Carson Wilcox <community [ at ] cssa-aei [ dot ] ca> Cc: linux [ at ] oclug [ dot ] on [ dot ] ca Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 9:08:24 AM Subject: Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Throwing a Linux Event for Students, would you like to attend?
