Little ReminderLON-CAPA is open-sourceWe have a strong collaboration with the
group at Ostfalia:◦ Thesis projects◦ Publications◦ Fulltime staff◦ Project courses
Contributions to installation packages, debugging, etc, from other partners
Possible new collaborations, for example with MIT
There’s always room for more!
