Hi: We've been working on improving how the upstream project at http://TheOpenSourceWay.org (TOSW.org) presents itself. I'm interested in your input on the current version, which is quite beta.
There has been a lot of confusion that the TOSW.org website was just for hosting a handbook. Our team has always meant more for the site, and when we started drawing pictures we realized we had something more coherent than we knew, with some holes filled. How does the site resonate with you? Especially with your Teaching Open Source (TOS) perspective? Is the connection to TOS more or less clear? In brief, our drawing puts TOS activities as one of the important ways we have of creating practitioners of the open source way. The latter being the purpose of TOSW.org. So materials such as the handbook, checklists, processes, and curriculum all support the overall purpose. Activities such as POSSE, community consulting and coaching, and writing sprints also support the overall purpose. One reason I bring this up here, there could be a stronger coupling between the activities and output of TOS.org and TOSW.org. I'll work on getting that drawing we made in to a digital format for all to peruse, it might help this discussion. Thanks for your input, - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41
