Oh, that's just kind of $site, see http://www.usta.de/ (in german). UStA = Unabhaengiger Studierenden-Ausschuss = independent student board, it's the executive committee elected by all the students of the University of Karlsruhe, working on student's social, political, cultural and economical affairs. The "independent" says that it's not organised in the (crippled) way prescribed by state and law, but instead in a more efficient and more democratic way decided upon in a public vote of all students held in 1977. > but now have sort of settled on /usr/local/site/[s]bin, libexec,... > for my local site specific scripts.
