[TOS] GNOME Workshop materials

[Stephen Jacobs]

Hi Meg,

my students alums and faculty mentors are all active in IRC over the summer.  I’m sure some of them would be willing to look your materials over. That said, there already may be a decent set of things already available in the TOS repositories that may save you reinventing the wheel.  I’ve let them know that someone from GNOME might pop into channel and point them to the materials.

we’re on free node #rit-foss

I am working on putting together materials for an introductory workshop for college students, similar to what OpenHatch had for Open Source Comes to Campus events. Since OpenHatch is not currently active, I am looking for an organization we can partner with to help coordinate efforts and give feedback on the resources we put together for students. Is this something the TOS community would be interested in? I noticed that there are already several resources that use GNOME, so I hope that such a partnership would also be beneficial to TOS.
