Hi Karlie,
Thanks for bringing this up.
Yes, we have been brainstorming on proposing
an "Education" track for OSCON 2010.
Please find below what we have as a very early
sketch:
(You will notice that many of the topics/ideas
are taken from our discussions at TOSS last
October)
------------------------------------------------------------
Proposal for OSCON 2010
1) Propose a track that includes the following
two topics:
a) Education about FOSS
b) Using FOSS in Education
2) We could look for four to five talks
on each one of the two topics above,
plus an open panel.
The panel could be focused on
"what should be taught in a FOSS course"
and another on:
"How to connect student projects to
FOSS junior jobs."
3) The presentations should include
* RedHat POSSE
* Google SoC
* OLPC
* Sugar Labs
* Kubuntu
3) Organizations that we should
encourage to participate:
* Oregon U. Open Source Lab
* Carnegie Mellon Open Source Lab
* Seneca College
* Trinity
* HFOSS
* OLPC / Sugar Labs
* RIT
* RPI
* Please add here....
4) We could also pursue getting FOSS
companies to write and/or endorse a
white paper on the importance of FOSS
Education for EE and CS majors.
Such document will be a great help for
Professors who need to raise awareness
with the administration of their own
institutions.
Please let us know what you think.
Thanks
Luis
