we'll come back to this mozilla education

<point #1> free software = great software

huge user base

huge user base best in class software

huge user base best in class software vibrant contributor communities

internships summer of code labs design challenge university courses mozilla education

university courses modeled on:

semester long course one week mozilla bootcamp real mozilla bugs and projects

learn: coding and culture semester long course one week mozilla bootcamp real mozilla bugs and projects

earn: university credit learn: coding and culture semester long course one week mozilla bootcamp real mozilla bugs and projects

how does it work?

example #1 the student

example #1 the student gsoc @ mozilla

example #1 the student seneca course x 2 gsoc @ mozilla

example #1 the student FF3 animated PNG seneca course x 2 gsoc @ mozilla

example #1 the student now: open source @ ibm FF3 animated PNG seneca course x 2 gsoc @ mozilla

example #2 the professor

example #2 the professor + mozilla people

2006 experiment example #2 the professor

2006 experiment not a mozilla expert example #2 the professor

2006 experiment not a mozilla expert mozilla backed him up example #2 the professor

2006 experiment not a mozilla expert mozilla backed him up now: multiple courses example #2 the professor

example #3

example #3 you?

opening up to students and professors everywhere example #3 you?

example #3 you?

example #3 you? in 6 months: 100+ students at 15 schools in 9 countries

working on: firefox fennec thunderbird example #3 processing you? etc.

what could be possible here in brasil? example #3 you?

this is one small experiment

this is one small experiment the potential is huge

what is the potential?

People love my courses! I have a job that I love!  professor Wow! Great  Software project: new ideas! More code, and more contributors. student   free software developers

there is even bigger the potential!

deeper and better learning at university there is even bigger the potential!

deeper and better learning at university workforce can make and improve free software there is even bigger the potential!

deeper and better learning at university workforce can make and improve free software a generation that works (and plays) in the open there is even bigger the potential!

a generation that works (and plays) in the open

a generation that works (and plays) in the open that's something that could change the world!
