[FC-discuss] Free Thesis Project Released Today

[Chris Morris]

I don't understand why it is school specific. What about people that
go to a school that has no such project? Or what if the club that is
hosting it stops existing? Why not have a universal project? Sure some
might have tricky issues involved depending on the school, country,
etc..., but I would think most would be easy.
