Dear SchoolForgers,
Exciting news on the SchoolForge website front! Paul McKimmy contacted us in Mid June via the website with the following:
"Aloha - I am a university professor at U of Hawaii-Manoa, preparing a graduate course on F/OSS in Education as an online course. ÂOne of the
assignments in the class will be to write a review of educational F/OSS
applications that students have tried and tested in educational settings.
I have a talented web team available to me for the next 8-10 weeks. ÂWe are
talking about building a similar site, but I wanted to contact the
schoolforge team first to see if collaboration would make better sense. I am
wondering about the possibility of building new features into
schoolforge.net."
Since
then, David Bucknell and Laura (LM) have discussed with Paul where we
are at currently, as well as efforts and strategies we've worked on in
the past.Â
Paul McKimmy brings a development team that has some availability
over the next weeks to upgrade and bring some of the features that have
been discussed. They are very eager to connect with the community and
get the ball rolling! I believe they have some resources to share that
show what they have in mind.
With that, I welcome Paul to introduce himself and share what is in the works!
Thanks,
Justin Riddiough
