I think at least half of us on the Council have degrees in the |

physical sciences. |

I work mostly with scientists and I have to say that in the last 10 |
| 11 |
years the embrace of FOSS by scientists has been considerable. Who |
| 12 |
wants to beg the boss for money and with IT for support of SAS when |
| 13 |
you can just download R and install it yourself, and so on? Of |
| 14 |
course, it tends to also lead to a bit of a mess when that little tool |
| 15 |
that was thrown together ends up being depended upon by an entire |
| 16 |
department and isn't up to it. |
