universities in the 1980s: writing the majority of internet standard RFCs and their implementations

universities now: moving away from Microsoft cloud is really hard okay? 🥺

@eloy Efforts like this in the 80s were individual efforts, not organizationally driven. Individuals on campuses today are still working to build a better world. And individuals on campuses are moving away from the MS stack (not me, mind you). But to make that change on an organizational level is a challenge of a different kind and order.
@edbilodeau @eloy not necessarily, and there has been efforts trying to be all-encompassing. For an example, I like to cite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Project
