[development] University of Sao Paulo

[Louis Suarez-Potts]

My apologies, everyone! My address book got quite confused. ;-(, and I  
didn't check.
On the other hand, the points I made are worthy: I would love to see  
more Foss projects included in universities, and as a Sun community  
manager, I naturally have a certain bent.

But, my apologies again.
