Educating on open source: Not as easy as it seems
,----[ Quote ]
| So Schroeder and IbÃÃez have worked with some
| OSS communities to develop lists of "junior
| jobs" on any given project â jobs that a
| student, a newcomer to OSS can come in an do
| with little oversight and in a relatively
| short period of time. It will give the
| students much-needed exposure to the
| community and provide the community labor to
| do some small tasks and concentrate more on
| the larger issues at hand.
|
| "We're working in collaboration with people
| we know ... [to] create a system where you
| can rapidly absorb the students," IbÃÃez
| said.
|
| Problem is, he said, college really is too
| late to start teaching many of these things.
| In fact, kindergarten wouldn't be too early
| to start instilling the basic tenets of open
| source:Share everything and play fair. But
| the standardized assessments in every state
| make it difficult to weave new aspects into
| the curriculum in middle or high school.
