Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski announced at a press conference this morning a $350,000 contribution from Google to a joint open source technology initiative of Oregon State University and Portland State University. With the grant, the universities will collaborate to encourage open source software and hardware development, develop academic curricula and provide computing infrastructure to open source projects worldwide.
"We're extremely excited about the Oregon university open source initiative and thankful for Google's generous support," said Governor Kulongoski. This initiative will help our universities build on their leadership role in fostering the next generation of open source technologies, projects and experts in Oregon and around the world."
