[education-wg] List of Education FOSS projects

[Kenneth Wyrick]

this sounds great! I'm in. I have teknwoledgy.org where we can organize
user  and image management easily utilizing user centric integrated
applications including photo albums that has infinite clipboard creation
for online printing and

or we can use http://eXeLearning.org editor to create learning units that
we custom package as SCORM/IMS/Open Cartridge/html pages which are easily
imported into all of the Learning Management Systems (lms)

then theirs http://celtx.com which has a pro system designed for multi
pre-production storyboarding, multi-media assest management, scheduling,
and reporting all in a browser based local project development that can be
hosted online as a classroom projects pre-productions....

i figure i can create: http://teknowledgy.org/fosse (fe) or /efoss (ef)
/efoofoss (eff) to

please comment on which one or i could even why not do them all

i'm also wanting to do a presentation for the SCALE education conference
so it looks like we will build a list and references to foss education
systems and applications mostly identified to be located on sourceforge
plus there are others that i know about.

see: http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/scale-8x-call-papers
which now i see that they may not be having the ossie open source software
in education

so this year we have a presentation category of:
Miscellaneous Open Source Topics
which has:
Open Source solutions for cloud computing and web services
that i'm still formulating what to propose....
15 Dec, 2009: Deadline for abstracts/proposals submissions

this seems like it might be a good listserv for what i do.
