Can we propose projects to integrate free software into Open Education Resources and thus into curricula? I would be delighted to mentor or administer such projects, and to coordinate between GSoC projects and FLOSS Manuals (for software manuals) and Sugar Labs (for Replacing Textbooks). I have several lined up in math and can come up with others in a variety of subjects. I have recently been doing the coding for Algebra: An Algorithmic Treatment, by Turing Award winner Kenneth E. Iverson. He wrote it for APL on printing terminals in the early 1970s, and I have translated it to his last language, J, on Linux, Mac, and Windows. > regards. > > -walter > > -- > Walter Bender > Sugar Labs > http://www.sugarlabs.org > > [1] http://code.google.com/soc/ > [2] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012 > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > [email protected] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > -- Edward Mokurai (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) Cherlin Silent Thunder is my name, and Children are my nation.
