[FOSS4SMEs-team] O1/A7 Dissemination Plan - version 2
by Max Mehl 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

Dear all, Please find enclosed and in Keybase the revised version of the FOSS4SMEs Dissemination Plan. I am looking forward to your feedback. I've clarified the distinction between Multiplier and Dissemination Events, added rough dates for the former, and added links to the various documents we meanwhile set up to keep track of the events and activities. There is also an update to the National Dissemination Plans. As agreed on the mailing list, we won't require to create separate long documents for them but collect the project partner's specifics in an online spreadsheet. This is supposed to highlight our individual strengths we can contribute to the overall dissemination. Please also have a look at the other tables in this document which contain useful and required information for all of you: <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vgjD1UuzFo_sE-LAogX8lnk1g4pFC-AOo1N…> For your information, here's a list of deadlines and requirements you are supposed to meet with regard to the dissemination: * Fill in your "partners' strengths" row * Conduct at least 1 Dissemination Event each project year, and document them in the spreadsheet and with photos * Conduct optional Dissemination Activities * Contribute to the Stakeholders Matrix to help us addressing the right audiences * If your organisation will make a Multiplier Event in 2019, keep this date in mind and ideally start organising the formalities soon already. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

[FOSS4SMEs-team] DIGITAL FOOTPRINT - New DLEARN initiative!
by francesco.agresta＠dlearn.eu 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Dear partners, I'm taking one minute of your time to present one of the latest Dlearn initiative. We have launched an EU survey to analyse citizens' awareness on their DIGITAL FOOTPRINT. The survey is promoted by the European Digital Learning Network (DLEARN) and the <https://eavi.eu/> European Association for Viewers Interests (EAVI), in collaboration with Prof. Przemek Sękalski of the Technical University of Lodz. The survey aims to look at how much control respondents currently exercise over their digital footprint, and how much control they wish to be able to exercise, as well as the protections and safeguards they would like to see put in place in the future. The research is a self-sustained initiative of Dlearn's members and EAVI activities, triggered by the latest events on internet security and personal data breaches, which aims to detect potential education and training actions to boost the level of citizens' digital footprint awareness. The results of the research will be shared with relevant Institutions as the European Commission, European Parliament and Council of Europe to stimulate the taking up of eventual measures. You can access the survey in English and other 12 languages at this link http://dlearn.eu/digital-footprint-awareness/. As our trusted partners we kindly ask you to take the survey as EU citizens and share it to all your network of contacts - respondents can be from 15+. Just 5 minutes of your time mean a valuable contribution to our study! I wish you all a good day and a nice start of the week!

[FOSS4SMEs-team] FOSS4SMEs - IO2/A1 Guidelines and Collaborative sheet
by francesco.agresta＠dlearn.eu 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Dear partners, I hope you are all doing well. I am reaching out to you to address the following points: 1) While revising the different Country Reports for drafting the Synthesis report, I have noticed that there is a lack of consistency between them. In particular: - FSFE and SKUNI: your reports have no visual representations (graphs, charts, etc.) of the results of the Field Research. It would be nice if you may add them where appropriate, to align with the other countries and make the reports look nicer. - OFE and DIT: we are all aware of the issues you have faced regarding the allocation of responses within the English questionnaire. However, since we promised 6 different country reports in the proposal, I am afraid that we wont get away with the same text for what should be two different Field Research. Therefore, I shall ask you to try and make some adjustments to just dont make them look alike. Please everyone bear in mind that the 6 Country Reports are the deliverables foreseen for O1/A1, and as such they will be submitted to the NA (and, of course, evaluated) by ATL for our Interim Report at Month12. Therefore, we have to present them our work in the best shape :) Once you are done with these adjustments (which I believe will take you a very short time, you dont have to re-write things), we will proceed with the Peer Review for OI/A1. Please try to make it by the end of this week. 2) As per IO1/A2, I am attaching here the Guidelines drafted by DLEARN about the ECVET framework and its application to our project. Please read it carefully as it includes the template we are going to use to develop our curriculum, plus some guidance on how to draft it. Please make reference to page 46-47 of the attached PDF (provided by Katerina) for some valuable tips and advice. 3) At the link below, you will find the collaborative online sheet which I have prepared for us to work on the curriculum: è https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZlomEBzErhh1j4QYZzYd7Ds1S5unsSGaIoz0 DUVxJfk/edit?usp=sharing We will agree on the assignment of each Unit per partner during the call scheduled for this Friday. Dont get scared by the number of credits/hours allocated: the curriculum will be a reference for a full-year course, but the contents developed by us will still be for 1 credit (=25 hours) in total. We will discuss this more in details on Friday. Thank you!
