Right, the POSSE textbook was an in-time response of a not-quite different angle of intention, but providing the material we weren't seeing available under an open content license at that time. > Jim, two things: 1) Do you want to take part in our small > expert-feedback panel (7 prof’s for now) - directional feedback for > now, not specific 2) Where would you ideally like to go from here: > a) to give us the content updates that you do have (added to > Karsten's existing content out on Fedora space) b) wait and see > where the new curriculum takes us > > I would suggest a little bit of all the above. - From your description above it sounds as if the Practical OSS Exploration textbook is one of the resources that you would curate a link toward? Do we know what usage statistics are like for that book? Is it worth taking some updates for it and using it as a reference to pull ideas from for educators reading the Teaching Open Source Curriculum? > Karsten: Where is your source located? anywhere public or sharable? > The wiki is really the upstream source, we used DocBook XML as an interim format. That said, I can't yet find the DocBook XML source but it should be somewhere, I'm not recalling where.

That's not clear to me, if the book is being used it sounds as if it might be one of your referenced works rather than supplanting it? Maybe you can explain a little further about e.g. sample lessons? I'd also appreciate seeing what changes Jim has in mind, they may turn the material into something more useful. Anyway, I'll track down the XML and get it up on GitHub at least. - - Karsten - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade .^\ CentOS Doer of Stuff http://TheOpenSourceWay.org \ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlUi/SUACgkQ2ZIOBq0ODEHbIgCdF/sKdqaz3u7CJdLFrvYYefTl OgcAn1QEkXXUM/Ua83YVdBch3DiniJiF =ediX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
