An interesting read.

It is an outstanding case study about how to set up Sugar/OLPC/Open source project at your local university.  One of the most important things I have learned from working with RIT is downplaying the terms open source and free software.  While very important, open source and free software, can be very polarizing.

Early on, Prof. Jacobs did an outstanding job emphasising community service and technology innovation, two things everyone at a university agrees is important.  He let everyone come to the same conclusion he had.  Open source and free software is the natural intersection of community service and technological innovation.
