What Education Can Learn From Open Source
http://educationaltechnology.ca/couros/356

Short article summarizing a slightly longer article that outlines three
major lessons education can learn from open source: the use of OS
technology, the value of 'amateur' work, and the nature of 'bottom-up'
knowledge and development. Best quote: "At this point, anyone proposing
to run Windows on servers should be prepared to explain what they know
about servers that Google, Yahoo, and Amazon don't." By Alec Couros,
