Dear Sivan,
I am currently checking the minutes. There is information missing, like for
example which units are complete as videos and which not. I am adding this
now.
The way you drafted them is also not like we usually do it. You have a lot
of details (Katerina said this and then Sivan replied this and then... etc)
and the focus to the important things (decisions) is being lost, but I will
correct them myself.
As soon as they are ready, I will upload them and notify the team.
Thank you for preparing them! Next time please keep the microphone mute
while you are eating, because the noise was a bit upleasant :)
Best,
Katerina

Dear Jonas,
thank you for your reply and clarification. I remember we received
different information from you and we agreed otherwise. Anyway, I will not
try to find a solution anymore du to the tight deadline. I wish you good
luck to your conference. I hope that you and the other team-partners manage
to publish sth on our project in other conferences/press releases etc as
expected.
Dear colleagues from FSFE, as Dissemination mangers please try to support
the team in finding ways to disseminate and fulfil point A8 of the proposal.
Thank you all for he hard work.
Best,
Katerina

Dear Jonas and Bjorn,
it is a pity you are not able to help me revise the paper, as I dont have
the expertise to make it on my own. Maybe I understood you wrong in our
meeting in Dublin that you can help me/our team make this first FOSS4SMEs
publication.
Anyway, I thank you for your reply and I inform you that since this
publication will fail, we will need at least one from your side. I need you
to notify me of your published article by the beginning of September, in
order to include it in the final report of our project.
Thank you in advance.
Best,
Katerina

> > 2. In the Introduction, I would say that the following statement is not
> > broadly true: “Concerning the use of FOSS by European SMEs there are no
> > existing studies, researches or surveys available, focused specifically
> > on this matter, nor transnational studies on the motivations and
> > barriers on the uptake of FOSS within businesses." Perhaps it is true
> > that the educational/European focus is limited but not that barriers,
> > motivations and adoption have not been studied - see e.g. Stefanou, C.
> > J. (2014). Adoption of free/open source ERP software by SMEs. In
> > Information Systems for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (pp.
> > 157-166). Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg.
> > And in the UK context: D Macredie, R., & Mijinyawa, K. (2011). A
> > theory-grounded framework of Open Source Software adoption in SMEs.
> > European Journal of Information Systems, 20(2), 237-250.
> >
> > 3. Are there different education requirements when considering different
> > application areas (.e.g operating systems, ERP systems, productivity
> > suites, etc.) or when considering the type of business/business model,
> > or type of organisational structure? Does the project anticipate any?
> > Clearly a SME interested in implementing server technology would not
> > receive the same training as a SME that only requires OpenOffice.
> >
> > 4. How has existing work on FOSS adoption by SME informed the research?
> > What about existing theories or frameworks of ICT adoption (e.g. Theory
> > of Reasoned Action (TRA), the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), or the
> > Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)?
> >
> > 5. Point 2 page 3: “However, this concept seemed to be still somewhat
> > misleading, as some of them wouldn’t be able to tell FOSS apart from
> > proprietary software.” In what way can they not tell the difference? Is
> > it that they don’t know whether the software is FOSS or that they don’t
> > know the meaning behind the concept of FOSS?
> >
> > 6. Is the ECVET curriculum future work or does it exist already?
> >
> > 7. What is meant with “the non-formal training course”? Is this the
> > ECVET curriculum or something else?

> > A major issue with this submission is the lack of academic references.
> > The claim that no research relating to the matter of open source

Dear all,
I have now checked all Units together in order to find the spots that
require improvement. I have then customised the relevant Units and lessons,
so that a common structure and naming (titles and sub-titles) is secured
according to your feedback after your tests.
There are some final improvements required. Here is a list of the missing
things:
- Bibliography relevant for Unit 2, 3 and 5. Check the example of Unit
1.
- Introductory text for each Unit: In Unit 2,3,4 and 5 you need to
adjust your text in order to explain what the participant will learn in
each lesson. Check the example of Unit 1.
- Summary part is missing in Lesson 2.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4. Check the
example of Lesson 1.1.
- Sources part is missing in Lesson 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 5.1, 5.2,
5.3, 5.4. Check the example of Lesson 1.1.
- In Lesson 3.4.: In Part 1 and Part 3 the title is missing. Check the
example of Lesson 3.1.
Please make the required updates *by 31.05. the latest*.
Thank you all in advance for your support. I am happy that we are almost
done with the content import and that by the end of May we will have a good
looking and consistent English course.
Best,
Katerina
