This might actually be an *excellent* opportunity to tie together a number of loose threads - Karsten (in Santa Cruz) knows many of the TOS folks in the area, though I'm not sure how much bandwidth he has to pick up on this right now. But he is planning an education-related presence at SCaLE, so perhaps this would be a good focal point for it. Karsten, I'm about to catch a flight out of Doha, but could you ping on this if you've got bandwidth over the next 5 days? > PS: I wasn't sure if this discussion belongs to the TOS list so I took > it out of the CC. But if it does, please let me know and I'll send it out. TOS list added back in. :) --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
