Abstract: Have you ever had to explain what "open source" or "free software" means to someone who is perhaps politely interested but not knowledgeable about the subject? This group discussion is for open-source software advocates and developers who have a deep understanding of technical issues but become frustrated when describing these issues to non-technical listeners. Special attention will be paid to enhancing listening and communication skills as well as practical strategies for dealing with the less-informed (including the press). _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
