If I was a PM student, I'd rather learn OSS-style PM (though "management" is the wrong word to use - "facilitation"? or maybe Karsten's "gardening") than the current "this is the way things work" stuff being taught (at least from the sense I've gotten of it from asking around the last few days). The terminology and some of the frameworks in the PMBOK are kinda useful to have as mental models, though. Michael: And that’s exactly why I’d love PM students to get exposed to OSS.

It's also true that you can't really assign community folks work items; they'll work on what they want to work on, in their own time, and to their own levels of interest.
