Hi Joseph, I am 100% interested in helping with this as it evolves. I am a Mozilla Rep, and often (informally) teach Open Source <http://tiptoes.ca/peering-through-the-keyhole/>- I'm also running a workshop as part of OSCON kids <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2014/public/schedule/detail/35847> on this topic. And... I match technical contributors, who haven't worked in open source, with open projects as part of my job as Developer Community Manager at SocialCoding4Good <http://www.socialcoding4good.org/> .
Finally... I am in the planning stages of creating curriculum for an Open Source workshop in the fall for women , and would love to leverage/contribute to this work. So ... would love to stay in touch on this -Emma On Wed, Jul 2, 2014 at 9:05 AM, Joseph B. Ottinger <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, all. > > > My name is Joseph Ottinger.
