[school-discuss] Thursday Interview: Eric S. Raymond on "Open Source in Education"

["Steve Hargadon" <steve.hargadon@xxxxxxxxx>]

This Thursday, September 21, at 5:00pm Pacific Time, I will be
interviewing Eric S. Raymond in a live "Skypecast" that will also be
recorded for later downloading.

Eric S. Raymond, known as "ESR" in the hacker community, "founded or
re-invented ... the open source movement" (see
http://www.catb.org/~esr/who-is-ESR.html) and remains a significant
voice.  He is the author of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar," a
collection of essays which have played a significant role in the
understanding and development of Open Source Software.  We will be
talking about the role of Open Source Software in the world of K-12
education.

A link to the Skypecast will be posted at
http://k12opensource.wikispaces.com/Interviews 30 minutes prior to the
show, and there will be 15 minutes made available for a Q&A session at
the end of the show for anyone participating in the Skypecast.
Questions for Eric prior to the show can  be left at
http://k12opensource.wikispaces.com/Raymond+Questions.

The recorded show will be available within a day or two at
http://k12opensource.wikispaces.com/Interviews or
http://edtechlive.wikispaces.com/Recordings+List.  Previous interviews
are available at those pages as well.
