@edovio Do you think that it might be good to expand this section and include the role of open source software in the reproducibility and replicability of research studies?

[edovio]

@FrancescaMancini I think could be interesting to have a more large scope of the open source movement :)

This video was recently produced that you could include! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c0IrsDsNaw

I really like that there is an example! I thought Moodle is an example of an Open Project - is it? We should give an example of what is open source and an example for an open project! As well as define what the difference in those are.

Abby did a great job with the open leadership training and laying examples out in there - maybe it will be helpful? https://mozilla.github.io/open-leadership-training-series/articles/opening-your-project/

On my talk about What is open and and Linux (in Italian) I have a little list of open source project or open philoshpy projects that everyone know also if it is not a IT appassionate.
As reference: http://mte90.github.io/Presentazione-OSC/#/11

Moodle is an example but probably add something that the people know or use but not know all the details can be interesting. I saw that video about VLC yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWx1P93nS0c and show what I mean. The fact that people see your t-shirt an reconize the logo and appreciate what you do but you are not a open source fan.
We are talking to students that can be interesting and myabe add example that they know can be more comfortable or interesting to them.

Yeah all that things are interesting, but considering that the guide could be distributed as a book (PDF, Ebook). To include Video or or other media things we can evaluate to create in this repo another section to create a little website with the content (including the Media content).

When I talked about the openSource in my talk I used this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8fHgx9mE5U made by blueprint:) It's super easy and understandable (and with the subtext localized in different language).

We can define if could be helpful to create a little website for the OpenStudentBook to include other materials then with a book could be given.
About the OpenLeadershipTraining we can figure out to put a new chapter where we discuss about how opening you project, using a term as "Openify" or other similar, where we can illustrate in details more things. I done a talk about the OpenLeadershipTraining (http://slide.edovio.com/clsxItaly/#/). To start I can put some content from there an put some link (when necessary) at the awesome OpenLeadershipTraining done by Abby :)
