FYI Following Karsten's guidelines, I just submitted to OSCON 2010 the abstract on:
"Educating the next generation of FOSS developers" http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/OSCON_2010#Educating_the_next_generation_of_FOSS_developers and added to the Wiki the exact text of the final proposal: http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/OSCON_2010/Educating_the_next_generation_of_FOSS_developers Freel free to use it as a model, but beware that this is the first time I write a proposal for OSCON.... so if you have better experience (or better sources of advice), you may not want to rely too much in these links above. :-) Luis ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010/1/18 Karsten Wade <[email protected]>: > Below is the information on how to propose an education track. > > Let's get all our plans lined up on the wiki within the next week, but > any of us can begin submitting using the guidelines below. > > * Include a link to our central page in "Additional Notes"; > * Put "Education" in the tags field. > > Just so we don't step on each other, shall we at least provide each > other this: > > 1.
