Now that we've flung open the POSSE registration gates, it's time to create spaces for each class. Chris, would it be possible to fire up a couple mailing lists?
I'd like to have these be open-archive but closed-membership, so that only participants of that POSSE will be talking there, but so that others can see the results of our discussions during class. It's what we've done for individual POSSE event lists in the past (that having been said, if you can think of a better arrangement, counterproposals are welcome!) Lists requested: * posse-cmu * posse-siliconvalley * posse-worcester * posse-rit * posse-design (someday, we may want a more regular naming scheme. Right now, given that these lists seem to have a life of ~6mo, I'm ok with this rather arbitrary one.) There's one more list proposal coming - I need to wrap my head around it a bit more. Matt Jadud suggested to this to me at dinner a few nights ago. In short, it's a private, unarchived list that POSSE alumni can apply to join (with a gatekeeping group of a few POSSE instructors, perhaps), with the agreement that whatever is discussed on that list stays on that list. The rationale is that professors need a private, safe space to talk about blockers they're running into while trying to teach open source. --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
