Michael's posting generated an interesting conclusion. Basically, it would be great to be able to develop additional resources that help connect CBPP in a practical way with OSS, FOSS, and OER activities in education. That is, resources that help us better understand the forces at play in CBPP and to make decisions about creating an ecosystem that supports OSS, FOSS, and OER. We have developed some momentum and as activity develops, it will be open. Two very broad questions were posed in the last comment. They are:
- Practically, how do you see practitioners using the CBPP model to make decisions?
- Do you think the distinction that many posters in this series have made between OSS and FOSS (Open & Free) is important to CBPP?
They remain open for dialog, and you are invited to do so.
Thanks again to Michael, for his interesting and insightful post and responses, and Gavin for making this a great exchange, and other folks who have been reading along. Please join in again on November 14th when Steve Foerster posts on the topic of Fair Use as an alternative and complement to open licensing. The schedule for the series can be found on WikiEducator 1.
