So… this is one of those weeks where the philosophy of open source makes me happy. First, Tom Hoffman is a tech coordinator who I’ve corresponded with off and on about edu-tech stuff for going on three or four years now. He wrote a lovely note about me on his blog (linked above) and it just reminded me why ideas need to be open-source. I’m thrilled to have had an impact on him, especially since his ideas always sounded so cool when we talked… sharing of code, sharing of ideas, sharing of energy… and big surprise, everyone benefits. Open source philosophy at its best.
