Hey TOS folks Good to see this TOS group buzzing! Been a while since I've been in here.
Asheesh: Great to see your training missions proposal for Learning, Freedom and the Web. Love it and we will make it happen. Everyone: I was hoping to see more 'teaching open source' content at the Mozilla Barcelona event, but we haven't had many proposals other than the one from Asheesh. Question: are there other people on this list interested in a) coming to Barcelona and b) running teaching open source style sessions? Current content and overview are here: http://www.drumbeat.org/festival https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/events/Festival/program/activities If so, I'd be happy to chat and help. It's going to be an amazing crowd and would be a good gathering point for European members of this list. Let me know what you think ... ms On 10-09-20 6:43 PM, Asheesh Laroia wrote: > Hi Michelle and the Teaching Open Source folks, > > I'm looking at Mozilla Drumbeat and thinking it would be interesting to share > some OpenHatch-related activities with the Drumbeat crew, especially as it > fits > in to Teaching Open Source. > > (For those only tuning in now, Drumbeat seems to be a conference about "using > the > web for learning."
