%0 Journal Article %J Open Source Business Resource %D 2008 %T Editorial: Education (August 2008) %A Kevin Goheen %A Dru Lavigne %X The August issue of the OSBR is focused on "education". The relationship between open source software (OSS) and education is extremely broad and also very important. One could argue that OSS creation and adoption has been driven by faculty and research leaders, with eventual buy-in from the commercial sphere. This should not be a surprise; university research labs are populated with individuals possessing an abundance of creativity, a need to work with platforms for innovation, and a shortage of funding. My own lab's experience with clever graduate students and finite funding sources forced us to collaborate with the National Research Council of Canada on open source helicopters. %B Open Source Business Resource %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %8 08/2008 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/172 %N August 2008 %9 Editorial %1 Carleton University Kevin Goheen is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, teaching in the areas of control and dynamic systems.
