foss for colleges
This document discusses implementing free and open source software (FOSS) for academic institutions. It outlines 12 potential FOSS solutions to common problems faced by academic institutions, including resource sharing platforms, learning management systems, scientific computing tools, collaboration platforms, and content management systems. Implementing FOSS solutions can help academic institutions save resources, better manage systems, reduce environmental impact, lower costs, and decrease administrative efforts. The document advocates adopting such solutions when there is minimal "friction" from administrators.
