[TOS] Creation of open source curriculum, open invitation

[Emma Irwin]

Hi Joseph,

I am 100% interested in helping with this as it evolves.  I am a Mozilla
Rep, and often (informally) teach Open Source
<http://tiptoes.ca/peering-through-the-keyhole/>- I'm also running a
workshop as part of OSCON kids
<http://www.oscon.com/oscon2014/public/schedule/detail/35847> on this
topic.  And... I match technical contributors, who haven't worked in open
source, with open projects as part of my job as Developer Community Manager
at SocialCoding4Good <http://www.socialcoding4good.org/> .

Finally... I am in the planning stages of creating curriculum for an Open
Source workshop in the fall for women , and would love to
leverage/contribute to this work.


So ... would love to stay in touch on this

-Emma
