Subject: Primary and secondary school education in free software

Howdy all,

Does anyone know people skilled in education curricula – teachers and
those who write such curricula – also passionate about software freedom?

I am wanting to find people skilled in producing primary and secondary
school curricula, who would be interested in working to make material
that uses only free software while teaching computing skills to school
children.

The intent is to teach technology skills (e.g. computer programming,
online collaboration) in a manner that schools will find valuable and
easily adopted, while diligently avoiding any dependence on non-free
platforms or technologies.

I know that there must be many people passionate about the issue who
would read this, but I'm particularly looking for people whose
profession is to make such material *and* who have this interest.

What about asking over at the Debian-Edu list?

https://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/

There's also a very quiet Edu announcement list along with a French
and German one via the complete Debian lists page:

https://lists.debian.org/ > https://lists.debian.org/completeindex.html

Just thinking out loud since I'd seen them get a mention via Debian
Publicity or something similar at some point. My apologies in advance
if you've already approached them. :)

Cindy :)
