<div id="RTEContent">IGANC - A long term, great (potential) opportunity for Drupal Curriculum:<br> <br> Paul Resnick (http://www.si.umich.edu/~presnick) posted this to my blog post on the drupal camp idea (http://www.civicactions.com/DrupalBootCamp) that I posted on Sunday night.<br> <br> I've let him know that all of our work (by CivicActions contractors at least) will be released under Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike License, and he's communicated to me our follow up emails that he's seriously interested in collaborating with the community.<br> <br> ----<br> <br> I'm a professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. I'm putting together a proposal for curriculum around content management systems (probably with Drupal as the key tool, though Plone is in the running).<br> <br> Universities work a little slower than the open source world-- I'm proposing courses for January 2007. And my audience is actually going to include people wi
th less
programming background, but knowledge of usability, social psychology, the relationship between organizations and social collections, etc.<br> <br> But if you get something going in a quicker time frame, I'd like to help in some way if I can, and make use of what you create.<br> <br> -Paul Resnick-<br> <br> ----<br> <br> Can I suggest that we (including the bigger shops) agree to a policy around the license for our co-creative curriculum works so that we can freely rip, mix, and burn for the benefit of the community (and also gain access to derivative works)? I'm particularly fond of CCSA for this type of work.<br> <br> Can I also suggest that we attempt, if possible, to capture the trainings in video form (using the same license). The more we can do to develop new talent and lower the barrier for new folks to come into the community, the more we will all benefit. Rich media is very good for a large segment of the population.<br> <br> One last suggestio
n - Can
we stop attacking new members of the community that are trying to contribute by saying that they haven't contributed yet. Hello, that's ridiculous. It will shut down new contributions by shaming newbies.<br> <br> <br> </div><BR><BR>Henri Poole<br>CivicActions LLC<br>c 510-684-3180<br>poole@civicactions.com<br><br>Currently in Vancouver 2/3 - 2/6 => Berkeley 2/7
