-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi
I haven't seen the new education flyer yet, as I think it is still in development, I have a few possible suggestions. 1. The new curriculum in the UK (http://torbaytechjam.org.uk/curriculu m/ ) has a focus partly on using computers responsibly, so you could argue that using free software comes under this, as you are not taking the irresponsible step of using pirated software for example. There is also a focus on safety so again by using free software you can examine the software, and make improvements if there are problems, the software is transparent in what it is doing and how it works. Young rewired state and google summer of code actually encourage participants to release under free licenses, as this encourages collaboration. - From an wider perspective too, taking part in free software projects has benefits for work experience, collaboration and working across borders with people being more concerned with what you contribute than your age, gender, orientation and ethnic background. So there is a lot of equality. Granted here people still need to be careful as to what information they share, and take the same care about using forums as any where else, Hope this helps Paul - -- http://www.zleap.net t: @zleap14 diaspora : [email protected] Documentation lead @ ToriOS http://www.torios.org Torbay Tech Jam http://torbaytechjam.org.uk Festival of Code 2016 1st - 5th August 2016 http://www.yrs.io -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlYo/k8ACgkQaggq1k2FJq2FBACff3nn8F7cUQ5DwiqkUyRuL44l 7jEAn0rTT2NDKTWRfdK7bA0CiSH4GVzy =y2kZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
