I’m a regular author on opensource.com, usually in the education channel. You can see all my articles here, but a few of my favorites are:
- I can’t bake croissants: a fable on project documentation (March 4, 2011)
- Three unspoken blockers that prevent professors from teaching open source community participation (November 17, 2010)
POSSE
The Professors’ Open Source Summer Experience, a faculty education program I run for Red Hat, deserves its own section; see the Red Hat press release.
