Eloy.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? 🥺
Ed Bilodeau@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.
Scott Williams 🐧@eloy @edbilodeau As someone who has made his career in higher ed, this is very true. It's not impossible, just very hard. Change is more effective when it's organic rather than top down.
