The document summarizes a project at Northumbria University that led to opening up the university's strict institutional IT systems. In 2006, Dr. Erik Bohemia wanted to enable global collaboration for design students but the university's IT systems were locked down. Through discussions with the university's Learning Technologies team member Ben Lovett, they started a project to explore using open source web 2.0 tools for international partnerships. This eventually led to a university-wide rollout of open source software and communication tools. The project changed the university by making IT resources more open and collaborative both internally and externally.

Bond
financing
is

The

are

to

Public

expected
to
me$culously
conform
to
standards
higher
than
those
aligned
with
personal
morality
because
of
their
stewardship
of
public
resources.
Moreover,
as
ci$es
and
coun$es
con$nue
to
face
shrinking

it
is
more
important
than
ever,
to
elect,
hire
or

to
