I edited http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_bid_process#Acceptance_Criteria into the somewhat more longwinded: "Drawing from the "release early, release often" mindset of open source communities, host locations are encouraged to submit drafts of their bid to the TOS list for feedback; the bid process is meant to be a collaborative discussion. In fact, a good way to increase your chances for acceptance is including links to mailing list posts that demonstrate you getting and incorporating feedback from the TOS community into your bid. Bids can be submitted as many times as you like; the approval process is iterative with the intent to get the best possible outcome, and we will give feedback on drafts of the proposal until it is acceptable." (As Matt has said, "conciseness comes later.") > And of course once you have a successful proposal bid in this format, > publishing it for folks to copy would improve the success rate. Oh, definitely. I think having 2-3 actual bid documents will make this much clearer - I need to write one for the POSSE Basics workshop in Raleigh, actually! - and this is one of the things I think the groups in Asia that have contacted Harish can help with. --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
