A Bushel of Free FOSS Tutorials
,----[ Quote ]
| You can't knock a good FOSS tutorial. While
| documentation, including tutorials, is often
| a weakness with open source applications--
| even very established ones--the good news is
| that there are some outstanding free
| tutorials on the web. They're available for
| many projects and platforms. Sometimes these
| are delivered by the community behind
| particular projects, and sometimes they are
| from enthusiasts and other third parties. In
| this post, you'll find many of them.

The USING Series: More than Just a Book
,----[ Quote ]
| I previously posted here in my blog that my
| eBook Using GIMP was going to be released
| within a few months. What I probably didn't
| spell out, is that it's part of a newly
| launched book series called Using under the
| imprint of the aforementioned QUE
| Publishing. But why should you care?

Bringing open source to schools
,----[ Quote ]
| The best way to ensure the spread and
| success of open source is to introduce the
| next generations of users, and potential
| contributors, to open source at an early
| age. But this isn't trivial. Aside from
| software suitable for young users, it takes
| a lot of support materials to teach a class
| and spread the word to educators. One of the
| better documented attempts at reaching
| students is MÃirÃn Duffy's eight-session
| Inkscape class and K12 Educator's Guide to
| Open Source Software.

Forking, The Future of Open Source, and Github
,----[ Quote ]
| Last Wednesday, at the kind invitation of the
| folks from Eclipse, I had the opportunity to
| sit with more august company â Justin
| Erenkrantz (Apache), MÃrten Mickos
| (Eucalyptus), and Jason van Zyl
| (Maven/Sonatype) â on a panel charged with
| debating the future of open source. Among the
| questions posed to us was this: is the future
| of open source going to be based on
| communities such as Apache and Eclipse or
| will it be based on companies that sell open
| source?
|
| My reply? Neither. Itâs Github.
