If you're teaching the POSSE curriculum, yeah -- but it sounds like you're doing the "helping professors get their students involved in FOSS," so you're all set. > Lastly, we will be using the application form you developed for POSSE > NG, though the site is no longer available. Yeah, the code for the application website wasn't being maintained, so it's down -- but you have the application form, and http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_2011_cohort can be an example of good applications if that helps. > I guess we can start using TOS/POSSE resources :) Yep, you know where all the wiki pages are. There isn't Red Hat funding for POSSE stuff (at least not now, and I'm not sure if that's going to change -- Steve Jacobs is working on chasing that down) so it's great you've got Mozilla as a sponsor. The amusing part is that I'm trying to get over my own fear of "opening up" POSSE and letting other people take the idea and run with it, but... go, Michael, go! If you could send this thread out to the TOS list (forwarding this email + your reply is fine with me) that would be great, so everyone else knows what's going on. Just make sure you document everything -- blog it to the TOS planet, post on the list, let us know if you're making improvements to the exercises (so we can use them too), and all the usual. Looking forward to seeing more people on the TOS list and in the #teachingopensource channel! --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
