How does the (much-revised) draft below look?
I got good feedback on IRC on this draft, so I've updated http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_Instructors. I know this is moving quickly, but we need to get something in place so we can figure out how to get more instructors trained this summer - and then we can tweak more as we go along. Patches always welcome, of course. :) But this seems good enough to me to move forward with - my primary concern is that the language is clear that we're deliberately trying to be inclusive of people who *aren't* professors being instructors, and that having that diversity of viewpoints (professor and non-professor) teaching at a POSSE is valuable, but also making sure we keep the points Matt and Greg made about bridging social capital in mind. I'm citing this email thread at the top of the page so people can see how we arrived at this policy if they're curious. --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
