[Masterlibre-list] New list member from Goteburg University, Sweden

[Jonas Öberg]

Greetings,

I was recently pointed in the direction of this list. At the Department 
of Informatics here at Goteborg University in Sweden, we are just 
accepting the last assignments from students of our course "Open 
Source/Free software: Philosophy & theory"[1] which we started in November.

The course has had around 200 students (though we expect no more than 
half of them to finish the course this time) and the length of it has 
been 7.5 ECTS points. We have offered the course as a distance learning 
course to anyone with English language skills that has been interested 
in participating.

We are currently preparing for our next course, "Open Source/Free 
Software: political science" (also 7.5 ECTS points), beginning in April 
2005.  The purpose of this course will be to study the effects of 
technology on the political process by studying how the free 
software/open source movements organises itself and acts to lobby and 
affect political decisions in favour for the fundamental messages and 
ideologies.
