last time muli introduced the open source concept somewhere in the middle
lectures (#3, i think). i think it was too late, and the concept-first is
how it should be.

Nadav, this is not your part. That last paragraph of
send-them-to-go-and-get-linux is needed in the original article, but in
the w2l(1) there are five more people after you, elaboratig on these
points. your part is the open source concept. and remember i am going to
do the connections between the lecturers.
guy- about the order of lecturers- i was arguing with myself if alon
should come indeed after shlomil, and i think you are right, he should.
about switching you and muli- i am not sure, because you do something
which breaks the flow of lecturing- you do a demo. the part of the
audience who cannot program yet may look at it as voodoo, and it might get
to Q/A sesion ("what are you doing now?"). i agree that in the order of
linuxer-development, like i built the rest, it should come first. but it
is risky, because it is oriented to a small range of audience.
so currently i think you should be last, but i would love to hear
more opinions on the subject.
