Total tangent from the OP, but neat to see RIT listed here (among some excellent universities)! What kind of things has RIT done like this? Just a curious alum.

- cramcgrab 10mo agoThey were big in software for the one laptop per child project: https://www.rit.edu/news/rit-class-develops-applications-support-one-laptop-child-initiative https://www.rit.edu/news/rit-class-develops-applications-sup... And, while not open source, built this: https://dirsig.cis.rit.edu/ https://dirsig.cis.rit.edu/ Also, I remember some kind of early realtime music accompaniment software, the guy played trumpet and the software played realtime accompaniment. Also, MIT built X11, which later turned into a bureaucratic exercise instead of software project. Berkeley, well BSD Unix. Early web projects came out of Michigan, like gopher. Not much lately though.
