Hi Joe, Among other things, I've been involved in developing and delivering open source training at HP for about the last 7 years and I would definitely be interested in contributing to this project.

I'm an engineer at Red Hat, presently tasked with creating a curriculum for the purpose of providing students with an awareness of open source culture, tools, goals, and community. We are in the beginning stages of creating an open source project around the creation of this curriculum, and we would like to invite any interested parties to participate. We are passionate around the open source way, and think that creating this curriculum through a visible, open process will allow it to serve as a model for the concepts it is designed to teach. We have a general table of contents already, but it's very much only an initial concept; consider this an invitation to please help flesh it out and improve it, so that we can create the highest quality material possible; one of our primary goals is to take this open curriculum and have it published as a textbook. Any suggestions are welcomed, from actual topical concerns to additional resources to consider. The (current, proposed) table of contents looks like this: 1) Introduction 2) Open Source Fundamentals (what "open source" means) 3) Communities (defining "community," and interacting with it) 4) Legal Aspects 5) Principles (what makes "open source" open source) 6) Practices and Toolchains (the processes through which open source projects operate) 7) History and Evolution 8) When and Why to Make Something Open Source 9) Open Source Cultures (discussing the mores of the different types of open source communities) Thank you. _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
