The Chronicle of Higher Education is hosting a chat today (August 1st) on Open-Source Software: The Risk and Rewards starting at 2 p.m. U.S. Eastern time. There is a related article titled Sharing the Code.

There will be a transcript available afterwards.

Cameron Laird says:

The Chronicle of Higher Education, which is more-or-less authoritative for US university administrations, is sponsoring a discussion on the place of open-source in universities ("... are such choices too risky for colleges...?"), starting in about an hour.  Bluntly, I think it's time to rally 'round the flag.
