Open Source in Education journal or magazine

Posted by jfluhmann on 12th February 2009

I’ve mentioned the idea to a few people and have received some great feedback. The idea is a quarterly (most likely) publication that highlights some of the projects and accomplishments happening in the PK-12 and higher education sectors regarding open source use. Some obvious topics immediately come to mind, such as Moodle and Joomla! (among others), but I would also like to have articles cover some of the not-so-well-known open source projects making an impact in education. I would really like to highlight some of the schools that have implemented open source and try to encourage participation by other schools.

Now, I know that I have quite a bit to learn about putting together a magazine, but as I get more into it, I really hope to start making progress toward a rough draft of something that resembles a worthy source for open source and it’s use in schools. If you have any interest in helping, please feel free to send me a message.
