Where have the universities gone?

It's an interesting topic.

Maybe it's just that computers are so new. During the 90s most free software programmers were younger. Now they've graduated but haven't left.

What about the google summer of code?

Also programming useful things is harder now. Before Linux had no apps but now most things are there so it takes longer to create something new.

Still, it's important to make sure that university students get plugged into the community.
