Hi Folks, As for using the text in the classroom, the timing of the completion of the text didn't align with the typical undergraduate teaching schedule (not a complaint, merely an observation :-) ). Because of the timing, I'm not sure that there are any faculty members who have used the text throughout an entire term. So we might not get complete feedback from classroom use.
The good news is that I know that there are at least three faculty members at three different institutions (and possibly more) who are planning on using the text in the fall. So we might get better feedback after the fall semester. Do we have a feedback mechanism for those who might want to comment on their experiences?

I'd like to kick off a week of discussion and planning for updates for the textbook. It would be good to get to a next level of content and polish this summer with time left to publicize the results. As a next milestone, I'd like to show the 0.9 version at OSCON (our talks, on the expo floor, etc.) There is a birds of a feather (BoF) session on Monday night 19 July. If we get things done the week ahead, we can have a few printed out for handling. cheers - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41 _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
