This web site is dedicated to the principle that diversity and freedom of choice are good things in general and are absolutely essential when it comes to academic computing.
Open Source software presents enormous opportunities to enhance teaching and learning and save taxpayer dollars but these resources have been largely untapped on our campus. We're here to spread the word to the University of South Carolina - Aiken community about the many benefits of Open Source software. More about our mission.
