David Humphrey on his blog Bread and Circuits reports on the launch of TeachingOpenSource.org. The site is meant to be a place where educators in FOSS can meet and collaborate. According to their “About” page, the site is not hosted or sponsored by any one organization, institution or company to create a neutral place. Accompanying the site is a wiki and mailing list. From Humphrey’s blog:
If you’ve spent any amount of time working in open source and education you’ll know what I mean when I say that there is currently too much duplication of effort: everyone has their own mailing list, wiki, planet, etc (I’m registered on about a dozen). This makes it hard for us all to “meet” and work on things together. Wouldn’t it be better if we had a light-weight hub so we could all see one another and share ideas? We think so.
