[TOS] Deb Bryan gives TOS a Shout Out!

2021-10-13 Thread Heidi Ellis
Hi Folks,

TOS is getting some press! Deb Bryant, Senior Director, Open Source Program 
Office at Red Hat, mentioned TeachingOpenSource as one example community in her 
article "6 Examples Of Open Source Best Practices In Knowledge-Sharing 
Projects".
 We're in great company with the OSI, TODO Group, IEEE SA-OPEN, The Open Source 
Way, and The Open Organization.

Enjoy!

Heidi

Hi Dave,

Great question!  You might be interested in the Open Educators Guide 
which contains experience reports from a variety of educators from a 
range of backgrounds:

https://opensource.com/open-organization/resources/educators-guide

An interesting article about open source governance models:

https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/understanding-open-source-governance-models

Brandeis has a series of micro-courses on open source that have some 
interesting topics that might provide ideas:

Any one else have ideas?

[TOS] Suggestions for Single Lecture about Open Source

2021-10-13 Thread Dave Lillethun

Hi everyone,

I was hoping I could pick your brains for some ideas  I will have a 
*single* class period to teach a small class (about 20) of *non-majors* 
about open source.  For context, the course is about technology and 
public policy, and the students do not all have a strong technology 
backgrounds (many of them have backgrounds in social sciences and other 
fields related to public policy), although they have all taken at least 
a single introductory programming course before this one.


Beyond the obvious "what is open source?", etc.  What other sorts of 
things do you think would be valuable for these non-majors working at 
the intersection of tech and public policy to know about open source?


Thanks!



- Dave
