I added a possible second writing sprint topic (which I would be happy
to dive into/collab on), which is essentially the flip of what was
already listed as a possible sprint topic. Reproduced below.

Cheers,
Matt

[PASTE]

Write a primer for companies and FOSS
developers/evangelists/participants about the lifecycle of faculty at
the secondary and tertiary levels and how to engage in productive
collaboration for both parties. For example, how are
middle/high-school teachers (in a typical public school setting in the
USA) hired, how do they keep their jobs, what curricula must they
teach, etc? Likewise, at the tertiary level (community college,
teaching-centric institutions, research-centric institutions) what
does the hiring and subsequent tenure process look like? What
curricula/accrediting bodies rule in these environments? Provides
context for recommendations for how to engage/collaborate with faculty
in the space of FOSS? (Perhaps not useful? Might be a red herring?)
