Open IT Lab – The Open IT Lab is a world class, one-of-a-kind facility with a focus on Open Source awareness, education and research and development. While Open Source has achieved mainstream status with the evolution of Linux and the mobile device, many people still do not view Open Source as a viable alternative to proprietary products and traditional processes. We believe this is due to a lack of awareness, education, and available case studies clearly demonstrating that viability. The Open IT Lab strives to make these things available.
