Yes, there was immediate buy-in. Open source was not an issue, possibly because UCLA has a strong and continuing culture of being developers. We have several locally developed CMS and most of our enterprise level applications were developed at UCLA. A primary criteria in the selection process was the ease with which staff and faculty could continue to develop rapidly and integrate tools to meet immediate needs. The challenges that lie ahead are more likely to come from gaining the discipline to develop such that we can continue to take advantage easily of new releases, the work of the global community, etc.
