encouraging? A sign of things to come ?

I gave a long talk on Linux at the REC last month, and the response I got was extremely encouraging (genuine interest and participation by a fairly large crowd..) 
What I did notice there however, was that no faculty members turned up.. maybe that's where there some concerted efforts at education needs to be made..

nikk
