Open Source in Education journal or magazine
Posted by jfluhmann on February 12, 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.

To Jeremy Fluhmann
I am a member of the Nashville Linux Users Group (NLUG.ORG) and am interested making your Edubuntu Classroom Server presentation available to our group.
Is the presentation going to be recorded and posted on a site like YouTube?
Or is there someone in the Middle Tennessee or south central Kentucky areas who could make a similar presentation at our Group?
Please contact me directly off-blog.
Thanks,
Russ

Hey Jeremy, I stumbled upon your blog from your Twitter feed. Do you know about the Teaching Open Source (TOS) effort? There’s quite a few people involved (including myself), and forming a peer-reviewed open source journal or interacting with existing journals is something that’s been discussed in TOS.
