As some of you know, Greg Hislop and Sean Goggins from Drexel, Heidi Ellis and Stoney Jackson from Western New England University, and Darci Burge and Lori Postner from Nassau Community College submitted an NSF TUES Type 2 proposal back in January. We have just learned that the proposal, titled "OpenFE: Developing Faculty Expertise and Creating Learning Materials for Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software,"  has been awarded!

The grant runs from September 15th, 2012 through August 31st, 2014 and has a main focus on getting faculty members up to speed on FOSS tools and culture so that they can support student participation in FOSS. In particular, the grant provides funding to get faculty members to workshops, including POSSE. Simultaneous efforts include building the community of FOSS teachers and representatives,  and developing course materials.  We anticipate that many of you will be interested in some part of this effort and we look forward to collaborating with you as we go forward.
