Bryant: I am happy to come speak about some the experiences with education groups interacting with F/LOSS communities. Todd knows me, and if your committee needs references, I am happy to forward some along. I do have a constraint that I can't speak on the last day of the conference, as I am flying to speak at the Indiana Linux Fest You may also want to grab Max Spevack from Red Hat, he's about 4 hours away, as well as Ruth Suehle from opensource.com/Red Hat. Finally, there's a prof at College of Chas (who I don't know) who is pushing his students to participate in F/LOSS communities (btw, Sebastian or Mel, you guys should reach out to this guy) his name is Dr. Jim Bowring. _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
