21	21	With your vote, I'd like to advance [[the FLOW Syllabus>>url:http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/Projects/flow-syllabus]] in several ways to support continuing education. This is a curated collection of online external learning resources that offer clear and useful freely-available web-based information from diverse sources. They are the best sources we can find which explain or illustrate the free/libre/open way (ethics, methods, processes, governance, HR management, strategy, security, law or financing). This syllabus does not shy away from delving deeply into primary concepts. And it is [[designed for both business and technical people>>url:http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/download/Projects/flow%2Dsyllabus/flow%2Dsyllabus_intro_15jul2014PDF.pdf]].

23		-This resource arose initially from [[my own firm>>url:http://www.opman.ca]]'s 2013 commercial contract with a Fortune 500 company that asked for a 5-day internal training course for their managers. They had already been highly active for years in advanced free/libre/open projects, but they wanted to more fully understand several complex issues and get up-to-date on recent court decisions and conceptual developments. I suggesting to my client that this was a common need, and that we ought to make this a re-usable collection of learning materials that could be shared with anyone. I could then deliver to them a particular instance of the course on-site. They enthusiastically agreed. After delivery, my client and I jointly approached the OSI to ask if they'd like to host further development of the syllabus as a shared resource for advanced learning about the free/libre/open way. This initiative now involves collaboration with the [[Open Educational Resource university (OERu)>>url:http://oeru.org/]] and others. In 2014 the FLOW Syllabus has expanded to include the FLOW Video Series (coming soon!) with the first three episodes being animated and produced by the communications team at [[University of Southern Queensland>>url:http://www.usq.edu.au/]] all under CC-by 4.0:
