Sure thing! Borrow away. We're actually speaking at POSSCON's education track as well (Sebastian's remote, I'll be there in person) so if you want to catch up before we both speak and make sure we're complementing and amplifying each others' points and not being redundant, that might not be a bad idea. > If there's funds for sponsorship of a TOS lunch at POSSCON, I'd be happy > to put one together.

Right now I count just myself and Leslie and Bryan, but there may be more lurking in the shadows. I wonder if it might be worth starting to keep track of "TOS talks" - papers and videos and slides and whatnot that folks here give about the teaching of open source - to give newcomers/outsiders a flavor of what we do, and where it's listened-to. --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
