Education with and to Free and Open Source Software

Computers & software are becoming pervasive, and are having directly or indirectly a significant impact on almost all aspects of our modern life: it comes as no surprise that computer & software have an impact on education too. Academia has an important role to play at several levels…

• We need to educate the teachers,
• We need to teach all university students
• We need to teach IT students how to work in an environment that is becoming dominated by Free & Open Source software.

At IRILL, we want to contribute to advance this agenda, by cordinating the actions on the FOSS curriculum.
