This is a great article.
I learned about it from Mike Morgan’s blog. Mike works at OSL at OSU. I am so (expletive deleted) jealous.
West coast geeks have all the fun…
maybe I have taken the wrong approach…

Hmmm…
Maybe I have been too broad when it comes to my IT career. One of the best pieces of advice I got that I have heard from wise people over and over again is to know when to say “No” or “I’m sorry, that’s not what I do”, especially when it comes to IT.
This article made me think about it..
the people you meet in open source part I
by Derek on Dec.29, 2005, under plain talk
When I went to OSCON back in August in Portland, I met a man by the name of Scott Kveton, Associate Director of the Open Source Lab at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon (the alma mater of Chad “What’s in my bag this week?” Johnson and T.J. “Triple H” Houshmanzadeh of the Cincinnati Bengals). I was reading the 12/19-12/26/2005 issue of Information Week and, lo and behold, who do I see in a featured article? The very same Scott Kveton. The article centers on how the OSL’s work has spurred open source development not just at OSU but in Oregon as a whole. He’s a really good guy to boot.
