-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone!
My name is Basil Mohamed Gohar, and I'm an avid Fedora user. Subsequently, I learned about this effort & list from Greg's blog post[1] announcing the 4gm project as well as the list itself. What really intrigues me about this idea is the broader scope of free-as-in-freedom teaching resources. I am a strong supporter & advocate of homeschooling and alternative education methods, and I see a strong base of high-quality and free education resources as crucial for parents to become more involved in their childrens' upbringing and pedagogy. In fact, my wife & I are so dedicated to the idea that we've committed ourselves to starting a business around providing education resources for Islamic homeschooling families which will have as one of its goals the creation of a freely accessible & usable community website[2] with anything a homeschooling family would need to get started and also develop their own home teaching curriculum. So, I'm excited to see a project like this taking off, though I'm not sure, at this point, what I'm able to contribute as I'm neither a Python developer, involved in the Sugar project, and our first child is still a newborn. But still, I think 4gm is the closest thing I've found to the kind of community effort I'd like to be more involved in, so I'm following-up on the archived discussions as I write this. I'm looking forward to see where this goes and the benefit it brings.
