Agenda:

1: Text of short announcement & invitation to participate 

• Please provide your suggested text here:

Call for Participation in OSI's Working Group on Management Education: Let's work together to strengthen the quality of management amongst free/libre/open projects and portfolios, and amongst their governing organizations.
We invite your collaboration towards improving the FLOW Syllabus. This is a peer-curated guide to the domains of knowledge that anyone involved in creating or maintaining Free/Libre/Open Works (FLOW). It is designed to help stakeholders to optimize value, to control costs, and to manage risk.

Points discussed:

• The announcement/invitation shoudl be promotional and perhaps even somewhat provocative
• OSI has several conferences coming soon, and this can be highlighted
• Useful to have a twitter link, wiki link, presentation link
• Touch on different perspectives of Syllabus use (by educators; self-directed learners; specialist advisors whether software architects, lawyers, business strategists, etc.)
• For the educators, emphasize that the resources are optimised for re-use in, say:
  • http://www.merlot.org
  • http://www.ocwconsortium.org/courses/
• That's to say, the FLOW Syllabus is not a course or a curriculum in and of itself, rather it is a venue for the community to identify the salient topics to be successful in the coordination of free/libre/open works;
• Keep the intro/invite short, link to a more complete statement
• Situate the FLOW Syllabus as one of the results of the direction that the OSI Board has decided to go

2: Discussion about the media of participation, and the Useful Coordination Links section http://osi.xwiki.com/bin/Projects/draft-flow-syllabus#HUsefulCoordinationLinks   Two options for the primary meeting venue currently being looked at:

• http://openmeetings.apache.org/
• http://www.ekiga.org/
• others?
  ...Let's continue to assess, but make the decision next week.

OERu  dilemma -- freedom of choice of users

let other person use waht they use

etherpad used extensive

bigbluebutton

calliflower

lots of people in other fields will want other tools

3: Thoughts about adding a sub-section to the syllabus about the management of Open Access Journals, management of open learning initiatives, web sources quality criteria and management. The idea is that this would serve as learning content for creators/managers who want to understand the effective management of initiatives such as:
http://wikieducator.org/OERF:About
http://oeruniversitas.org/terms-of-service
... and the Governance tagged items at:
http://www.evolllution.com/category/institutional_governance/ ), but would also be our own FLOW Syllabus guidelines.
I'm thinking (and might be wrong) that this sub-section could be a useful FLOW Syllabus topic as such, not just an extension of the sub-section "Methodologies Inspiring Our Approach"
http://osi.xwiki.com/bin/Projects/draft-flow-syllabus#HMethodologiesInspiringOurApproach

yes this would be useful

caution about scope

keep it as a sub-section

reservation is that the audience is different

highlight similatiteis, but starting point is different

workng in an flow community is different origins fo peopel

faculty developng courses are coming from a different place

focus on shared attributes

best if we can point to the best sources

4: Is the useful? "Resource-based learning" http://www.reusability.org/read/chapters/hannafin.doc

inverse relatinon between reusability and pedagoge embeded

learning appraoch and design -- point laerners to resources, let learnersna d educators strucgure them

keep out of education philosophies

5: Other topics? 

How many of the resources are "learning activities"?

Learning outcomes -- what would the user come to know about?
