Open Source and COE — part 3

February 7th, 2005

Today Brandon, Mike, Ron Adams, Micheal Quinn, and myself all got together to talk again about open source in eduction. Prof Quinn brought faculties point of view to the situation. Here is the quick story, Dean loves it, to Quinn it was just another thing on the list of great things to do. In specific he said, “There are only finite resources, however there are infinite things to do”. He likes the idea, just not sure how it would work out.

I can’t think right now, so here is a list

  • Should start by finding space for the lug to grow a larger community
  • Creating curriculum is hard when there is no ghun-ho faculty member
  • Things are already tight, so change is hard
  • If something curriculum based was to happen, it would need external funding (anyone want to help here?)
  • We need to develop a state of the LUG, telling what our accomplishments are
  • Adams loves it
  • Adams loves it
  • We will prevail, because it is the right thing to do
