[dundee] Learning in the GNU/Linux Community

[gordon dunlop]

This was a paper that was presented at the Texas Linux Fest earlier this
year.

Learning in the GNU/Linux Community by Don Davis & Iffat Jabeen, University
of Texas.

 This paper presents an analysis of survey data provided by 4603 respondents
reflecting on learning within the context of GNU/Linux and other FOSS
communities. The intent of the paper is to facilitate an evaluation of
GNU/Linux and its properties as a participatory learning community by
educational technologists, educators, education administrators, and other
education stakeholders. In this paper, researchers analyze data to determine
whether the GNU/Linux community exhibits significant characteristics of a
community engaged in the process of legitimate peripheral participation.
