Hi Michelle and the Teaching Open Source folks, I'm looking at Mozilla Drumbeat and thinking it would be interesting to share some OpenHatch-related activities with the Drumbeat crew, especially as it fits in to Teaching Open Source.
(For those only tuning in now, Drumbeat seems to be a conference about "using the web for learning." It's in Barcelona between November 3 and November 5.) (The following is based on my understanding of Drumbeat. Corrections welcome.) The event is organized into "spaces", which contain "activities". These can be found at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/events/Festival/program/activities It seems that the "Open Source Classroom" space is hosted Free Knowledge Institute and Seneca College. I'm hoping the *people* who are hosting it are part of this lovely mailing list. (-: (gregdk, what are your particular plans for Drumbeat?) I want to have people discuss the interactive open source "training missions" that OpenHatch developed as part of Google Summer of Code. I think that could fit nicely into the Open Source Classrooms section. I wrote up a proposal at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/events/Festival/program/training_missions as requested in the wiki. So dear Open Source Classroom folks -- may I glom this onto your project? And what other things do people have planned for Drumbeat Festival? -- Asheesh. P.S. One alternative is that I could lead a "Teaching the open source software culture" section that's separate from "Open Source Classroom." I'd say the free software community is itself a part of the "web", so then I could have two activities: First, the interactive training missions, and second, I could do a skill-share on the in-person teaching I'm doing this weekend (see also http://penn.openhatch.org/ and lead a discussion about how the community can improve our outreach. I think I'd rather join an existing "space" so that we can all be together. (-: -- Q: Why do WASPs play golf ? A: So they can dress like pimps. _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
