Well, I didn't LOL :), but I did get the point. Matt's arguments are exactly right and pointed out my error of domain. In the existing-as-it-stands FOSS world (one domain), what I said makes sense - in that community, anyone can be a practitioner, and showing that inlusiveness is part of the point of teaching/mentoring exercises. I read Matt's argument as, "We're growing a very nascent community of practice around FOSS in academia, and that requires people who understand both to bridge the cultures." That addresses the CS/CE domain that POSSE is targeted at. In light that of that correction, I'll smack my head and thanks for the clarity, and point out one obvious thing -- the fact that I was rankled at the original language/argument is a sign that others in the FOSS domain will do the same (I think I saw that this morning on #teachingopensource, too.) Let's make sure we throw in some clarifying language that explains the value of fellow-professor as teacher in POSSE. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
