Hi, To clarify, I think it would be interesting to hear what worked with respect to the course deliverables, process, and infrastructure.

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- 2010/1/1 Karlie Robinson <karlie_robin...@webpath.net> Is anyone planning on going to this? We should really be getting TOS on the list at a lot of these. Otherwise is there a plan on how we can get to more Birds of a feather and EDU conferences to give talks? ~Karlie -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Ambassadors] OSCON Call for Proposals Now Open Date: Fri, 1 Jan 2010 20:22:01 +0300 From: Frankie Mangoa <mailto:frankieman...@gmail.com> <frankieman...@gmail.com> Reply-To: fedora-ambassadors-l...@redhat.com To: fedora-ambassadors-l...@redhat.com Hi, happy new year ad rust this mail gets to you at the best of health.
