Learning about Community

This week, I've been in Boston with Sugarlabs.org, OLPC, and The Fedora Project.

So I bet you might be wondering what this has to do with activites in your FOSS Groups?

Well It's not a very long story and it has to do with being in the right place at the right time and being open to opportunities.

In January 2009, I attended an OLPC Grass Roots Meeting at RIT.

It resulted in the formation of a class who were some of the very first university students to learn FOSS development as part of their formal education.

Today, the meetings at the Red Hat Offices we hashed out what we can do next quarter to make it easier to introduce University Students to FOSS development. The better news is that the lessons we've learned at RIT and on our feild trip this summer will be available to everyone at TeachingOpenSource.org.
