Went to the #SLU#Palestine protest today. It was very good, police did not interfere (Mayor had told them not to apparently). Occupied a section of Grand for about 2 hours. Group dispersed around 9:30 when the rain started.
Proud to see some young leadership organizing a large group, disrupting, and making specific demands (divest from #boeing). Lots of signs pointing out the hypocrisy of a Jesuit school investing in a military contractor.
#OpenSource with #SLU gives students practical software development experience and helps researchers with their custom software needs.
“We are trying to, first, give students real-world software development experience. Second, build software that supports research. Third, promote a center of gravity for open source software development and broader conversations about open scholarship on campus.”
