Hi Folks,
Yes, I like this resource a lot. Easy to understand and easy to use.
One idea for "stamping" the resource might be to identify the number of
TOS folks who have used the resource and found it useful. This would
take some time to get up and running, but would provide an opinion
provided by the participants in TOS.
Just a thought.
Heidi

Subject: [TOS] An outstanding curriculum resource
So I happened upon this, posted to a friend's Facebook page, of all
places:
http://cs.anu.edu.au/students/comp8440/lectures.php
It's a 15-lecture "Introduction to Open Source" class, by Andrew
Tridgell,
of SAMBA fame, and it's completely brilliant. *And* it's explicitly
licensed as CC-BY-SA. To me, it's *precisely* the kind of resource that
we should be championing, written and taught by one of the most
knowledgeable open source guys on the planet.
So. Two questions.
1. Do people agree?
2. If so, how do we champion such a resource? How do we properly stamp
it? I would like to give it a great big gold start and say "we here at
Teaching Open Source bless this course!" What's the best way to do
that?

Computer Science professors should be teaching open source.
