California's two largest public university systems—the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) —collectively serve over 750,000 students across 32 campuses. These universities also have a proven track record of building transformative open source projects and related technologies. If these two systems were to increase collaboration in open source and combine efforts, this could create a powerful engine for California's economic development and public good. This presentation will look at the potential of UC and CSU collaboration and how these efforts could create tangible benefits to the state and local communities, as well as provide pathways for greater industry-academic collaboration on new technologies
