Contribute your expertise to an open source textbook
A project that intends to produce a textbook for instructors who want to teach open source software development processes is asking for contributions. The announcement, “Looking for writers for Teaching Open Source textbook,” describes the first version of such a textbook:
Earlier this year we released the first usable version of a textbook, “Practical Open Source Software Exploration”. This book fills a need that we hear about repeatedly from educators — there is no other standard textbook that teaches how to actually participate in a free and open source software (FOSS) project.
The textbook itself is licensed under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike license, and needs contributions compatible with that license. If you are an open source software development expert, or at least a decent writer who is good at researching instructional materials distributed under permissive licenses, this could be a good way to get your name into the credits for a book and “give something back” to the open source communities that provide the software you use.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
