Teaching Teachers Open Source

Ping @matthias

I got intrigued by you comment mainly.

Ok, but I have a challenge, I have got another consultant job and I don’t know if I can make it at the 28/11.

Hello!

I’m super excited to soon meet you all to have this workshop going. I’ve been preparing and been waiting to see how many would join and what background you all have. It seems from the signup, the group we are at the moment is just about perfect to make this workshop truly interactive! But feel free to pull in more of your personal contacts if you think you have some more that would be interested in participating.

Use this simplified signup form which will take them/you through the registration process: https://register.edgeryders.eu/

I have made preparations for the frame of the workshop - as you all have read. But, in the end - its we all, who brings to the substance. My part is of equal weight as yours - we need you.

With this post, I hope to spark this weeks conversation that will continue into the workshop.

THE GROUP SO FAR
Below is insight into the group that you are part of. Its not a complete description, but it shows how amazing and wide set of skills we have in this community.

  • Someone thinking about starting a tech-school looking for networking!
  • An open source officer for a large company.
  • A start-up co-founder of a open source education platform in Africa.
  • A crypto currency open source software engineer with a range of future visions.
  • A politically curious university teacher in areas such as cloud, network, security with connections in the broad Stockholm FOSS community.
  • A leader and inspirational source for young engineers within a large company with a playful mind.
  • A project lead at the Stockholm public library with access to a “learning lab” and a vision to build ethical, open and social context for everyone.
  • A member of a group aiming to teach programming for young children with an ethical approach.

FOOD
We will have a food truck coming our way - @MariaEuler have the details if you have any special input about the food. There will also be coffee. But, please also bring your own gifts - that is always appreciated.

WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE WORKSHOP?
As you know, a #nospectator event, like this, only becomes as good as what the participants make it. So, during this week - we depend all on the collective effort in making also the schedule fit our ambition:

“Find ways to influence the educational system towards open source values.”

The below is my initial attempt - now its your turn to improve it.

Btw I find the video at https://publiccode.eu/ a good summary of some of the issues. It exists in many languages (if you visit the webpage).

@felix.wolfsteller Grymt, ta med dig något av detta till workshopen. Det kommer finnas utrymme.

@LinneaPC - the above is the draft content of the workshop. The ambition is to be able to continue the discussion and work afterwards also. Pulling you in to this work is important.

Je suis désolé, ne sera pas là.

@felix.wolfsteller Ah. “You could bring some of it to the workshop. There will be room for that.”

I encourage you all to bring a computer if you can. This helps us all to document our work and start establish a communication between us all.

Also, bring snacks to share if you like!

This is stellar work, @erik_lonroth. Major kudos. :star:
