Hi Folks, I just wanted to clarify that the recent POSSEs that have been hosted in the U.S. have been mostly funded by the National Science Foundation. The NSF provided travel, lodging, and food funds for both participants and leaders. Unfortunately, those funds cannot be used outside of the U.S. which is one reason why there have been more US POSSEs in the past year.

There is a community of teachers sensitized about open source but missing some incentives and knowledge about the methodology of putting such a class in place (getting in touch with community, how to find projects with high pedagogical value, the day-to-day work about a class on FOSS, etc.) I'm sure Roberto Di Cosmo -- director of IRILL (Institute for Resesarch and Innovation on Free Software, CCed), will be glad to host such an event. However it will be nice to have some of your experience and expertise that you have developped since the early days of POSSE. Please let me know if you think that such a thing is doable. I will be glad to give it a try.
