[opensuse-edu] Learning the Open Source Way Project - inquiry regarding announcment possibility
- From: Andreas Meiszner <A.Meiszner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Good morning
We, the FLOSSCom team & Ubuntu education, just started the “Learning the Open Source Way” project .
The project is not about using open source software in education, but about the way open source communities and individuals learn.
We believe that the open source way of learning could help improving (formal) education, e.g. the support model, the way of content creation, the individual skills people gain…
Would there be a chance to promote this project through opensuse education? I don’t think that there should be any competition between opensuse EDU and edubuntu, but a common interest for all - but if there is, just let me know.
I included below the promotion text as to be announced at the Ubuntu side, more information can be found at www.flosscom.net, or just ask me directly.
Regards
Andreas

Learning the Open Source Way Project Announcement
======================================
You use open source software. You work with it and you know how to help yourself when you run into a particular problem. You share your experiences and know-how with others on the internet. You participate.
Perhaps you didn't realise that this makes you one of the more advanced learners on our planet? Have you considered yourself being a very talented learner and communicator?
At the beginning of July, the FLOSSCom team and Ubuntu Education have launched the “Learning the Open Source Way” project. We want to advance our collective understanding on how learning, communication and collaboration works in open source and how these experiences can help to improve (formal) education.
We are interested in learning what you are doing out here, your experiences and how you see things work.
I invite you to join me and our group of interested learners and educators, currently including people from Germany, Greece, Portugal, the Netherlands, South Africa and the United Kingdom... Please come along for our virtual meetups and share your experiences and insights from the open source world! We are itiching to learn from your way of doing things in the open source community!
We just started so there are still many ways to get involved and to help us shaping this project.
Want to get a picture of what we are up to? Than check out what we did so far at Launchpad (http://launchpad.net/flosscom) and the FLOSSCom website (http://www.flosscom.net) , or join or re-listen to some of our meetings and talks (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/flosscom/talks).
Our last three meetings/talks focused on:
1. Topic: What is the motivation to participate in FLOSS?
2. Topic: What does FLOSS learning feel like?
3. Topic: What are the roles in FLOSS?
The coming three meetings/talks will focus on:
1. Topic: Summer University Newbie Introduction
2. Topic: What is the FLOSS support system?
3. Topic: How is FLOSS learning different from ‘normal’ education?
You know that you can make a difference in open source, so you certainly can make it here too!
