Thanks all of you!  Newspapers seldom write about what you want them to cover, although Devon Jackson did a much better job than most.  I had put a lot of emphasis on software freedom being a key part of what we do, but that fell on the floor in editing.

Still, all the students mentioned there are doing research with free s/w tools!

And of course our web site has "software freedom" as a top level tab :-)

And notice that at every step of the way nmglug helps: both in running specific courses, and in how SITC helps run our IT infrastructure and web, and in how JS is one of the mentors at the Institute!
