Hi Folks, A few other clarifying thoughts. Teachingopensource is currently hosted by Oregon State University. I believe that it is also supported by Red Hat, although I do not know the details.
I agree that combining materials for POSSE into a central location makes sense. However, once again the National Science Foundation is influencing how things play out. Since the POSSEs that are run using materials on foss2serve are funded by the NSF, there is a need to be able to clearly identify materials produced using NSF funds. Therefore, the materials developed under NSF funding are located in a single location on fosss2serve. The good news is that the materials are all CC licensed and can be linked to, copied, modified and otherwise used as needed. Just trying to make things clear.

The materials (still being updated a bit!) are posted at foss2serve.org. They are, of course, available for use and might be useful for POSSE GH. Also, please let TOS know what you're doing for a schedule, and about any new materials you might prepare. We're always looking for ideas on how to improve things. > > Greg Hislop Thanks Greg for the information. I will keep the community posted on future POSSEs. I think the contents on foss2serve.org could be merged with the contents on teachingopensource.org. I understand the servers are in different places, ToS was moved from Seneca to Red Hat. And foss2serve.org is most likely in an institution (Steve Jacob's I think) in the US . Getting the contents in one place will ease out the process of searching for information about the ToS community. The websites are both mediawiki; merging them should be a breeze. Perhaps, there are unresolvable issues to keep different instances. We will save ourselves from much trouble in the future if it is done now. > > -----Original Message----- > From: tos [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Michael Adeyeye > Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2014 3:10 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [TOS] tos Digest, Vol 61, Issue 7 > > On 11/10/14 00:53, [email protected] wrote: >>> 1.

I was not asking that your school should host another event. POSSE NG took place at your school and UniOsun. And that's all about it.

I have been butting head with the other instructors about what projects to contribute to. I could get the participants to contribute to a Fedora package (i.e. develop one ground up or update an existing one).
