I used to help maintain the FOSS list of education software at schoolforge.net. The site is still up but the group is no longer active. May still be some helpful information on FOSS and education there. I also volunteer for the DFF https://digitalfreedoms.org/en/ If you or anyone else on this list would like to get their classroom involved in hosting a local Software Freedom Day event in September, I can connect you with resources and contacts. I maintain several lists of FOSS software on a variety of topics including one on FOSS libraries for machine learning. I've personally contributed to FOSS projects for decades. It's usually pretty hit or miss. Some projects are friendly and welcome contributions and some are cliquish and don't want input from outsiders. A couple of friendly FOSS forums where you can ask for advice, find out about FOSS projects or share information on your own projects are: https://itsfoss.community/ https://devuanusers.com/ While it's not primarily FOSS related, if you're interested in cybersecurity resources, you may want to check out Nearshore Cyber. They hold chats and discussions and they were hosting online games like Backdoors and Breaches to learn more about cybersecurity. Another interesting resource on FOSS might be Open Ed Tech: https://openedtech.global/association/ They were working on some offline AI related projects. _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] https://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos TOS website: http://teachingopensource.org/
