The difference between a school and a conventional enterprise is what happens to that expertise. In most businesses it sticks around. In school it graduates.
Said Dana Blankenhorn in his blog Education Lessons for Open source yesterday. That observation couldn't have been more inline with what started Kenfuse. Open source long has been worried about lack of contribution from the corporate user community, but perhaps not enough has been done to engage students who are going to be tomorrow's corporate citizens. Once students get used to contributing to open source graduate, the habit is likely to stay on. Isn't that sort of the GenX phenomenon? "catch them young"?
Focused on bringing awareness of open source within students community, Kenfuse today is working on bringing simple courseware that would help students get started with open source easily. The thought is to provide the equip the students with some of the fundamentals of technology and provide pointers to related projects and the rest is self learning and taking to the community for mentorship.
