So far I am currently not impacted by current economic conditions but it have had a severe impact on possibility to do things on weekends, money is less useful. I also consider the years spent on university as lost, very few womans and nothing fun.
Cristian:
Octave is an open-source project and a volunteer-based effort. Similarly, this mailing list is all volunteers. To my knowledge, we do not have agents of any sort.
Nicklas:
I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time at a university. I would emphasize that the purpose of a university is education, not women. Those who enjoy learning, with social events as a secondary aspect of university life, are much more likely to enjoy universities.
