Re: [TOS] Copyright assignment considered harmful?

Luis, Could you explain more about how your open-access journal is reproducible, or point me to something describing how? Thanks, Sebastian On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 4:37 PM, Luis Ibanez wrote: > Mel, > > Academic publishing is split today into > two parallel universes: > > A) The Open Access co

Wow, flattered you'd quote me on this list. I think your academic parody version is dead on. Yep, I'm on this list. I'm quiet on it since my work hasn't had much of an explicit educational focus (it would be hard to say it has any focus at all at this point). However, approaching academic resea

Re: [TOS] Start of the school year -- what are people doing for fall semester?

This is a nice thread, Mel. What I think I'm up to in my own second year: * I'm tentatively "focusing" my work on "collective intelligence on the internet" because it seems easy enough to shoe-horn other interests into. Thinking of framing open source community practices as an example of that, a

[TOS] looking for feedback on ideas for an open source development course

Hi list, I'm a PhD student at UC Berkeley's School of Informationand have been getting encouragement here to teach a course on open source development targeted at students in our Masters program. Our Masters students come from a variety of backgrounds and are req

Re: [TOS] looking for feedback on ideas for an open source development course

Thanks again for this feedback. It's great and helpful. A few things are on my mind as I read these comments. The first is about the trade-off between assigning readings and practical experience. What I'm hearing is a preference in this community towards practice, which makes sense. But I thin

[TOS] Students reporting back on first contact with open source projects

I just wanted to send you an update about the class I'm co-teaching this semester on 'Open Collaboartion and Peer Production'. It's aimed at Masters students and fulfils a management requirement for them, so it's quite a bit different from a computer science course. But what I hope you'll find in

Re: [TOS] Creation of open source curriculum, open invitation

Hi Joseph, I'm definitely interested in this. In Fall of 2013, Thomas Maillart and I co-instructed a course at UC Berkeley's School of Information called "Open Collaboration and Peer Production," aimed at Masters students in the department. We ran it as an open source project. You can explore the

Hello, It's been a long time since I've posted to this list, but I've found my research swinging back around to this topic. I wanted to share what I've been up to and ask what the best way is to get updated on your progress in developing hands-on OSS engaged curricula. I've gotten involved in the
