95 -I had a meeting with the [University at Albany] Provost’s office this morning, they were looking for some help from me a with a new degree program in computer engineering beginning in the fall of 2015. [The campus] has partnered with industry and they have helped us design the program so that graduates are trained and ready for what the job market needs. Incoming 2015 freshman accepted into this program will have specific courses they will need to take, including an introductory course in building a simple computer, and then will matriculate into the degree once we have the final accreditation.
96 -
97 -I mention this because of what we are doing at the middle school with Open [Source] Software, and what I hope will continue to be developed further and expanded into other Maple Hill grade levels. This is exactly what the job market is looking for; employees who are not just programmers or technicians, but who can walk the line between the two disciplines.
98 -
99 -Once again I applaud how Schodack is pioneering education, and finding creative ways to utilize our space while simultaneously exposing our children to so many different opportunities, leading to a more well-rounded education and possibly some career choices they might not have ever considered.

127 -1. Program/resource guide: June 1, 2015 with annual renewal
106 +1. Pilot program: June 1, 2015 with annual renewal. The initial project~-~-designing and delivering a K12 course on open source software~-~- was completed on schedule with the organization of the Open Source Computer Club at Maple Hill Middle School in the fall in 2015. The program culminated with a [[presentation by students of their work>>url:http://www.schodack.k12.ny.us/stories/2014-15/Open-Source-Computer-Club.php]] at the University at Albany's Open Source Festival.
107 +1. Program/resource guide: June 2016 with annual renewal. A comprehensive curriculum conforming to the ITSE standards was developed along with teaching and learning resources to, 1. ensure the program was in line with U.S. national standards, 2. give adopting schools/districts confidence that the educational program, is comprehensive and complete, 3. help schools just starting with the program deliver a standard course, and 4. provide a launching point for further development based on unique local needs.
108 +1. The final goal is to find a qualified and supported organization to hand the incubator project off to.

131 -It is expected that once the resources have been developed and distributed the working group can be dissolved. However, as the Schodack student group is expected to continue, and new districts may choose to participate, additional work may be undertaken in maintaining the documentation and updating materials based on ongoing practice, lessons learned and new inputs.
112 +It is expected that once the Incubator Project achieves critical mass, it will either, 1. become self sustaining, or 2. will be adopted by a permanent sponsor whose work is in line with the educational objectives/outcomes of the FLOSS Desktops for Kids program. Until that time, the OSI will continue to support the ongoing work of adopters as well as promote continued growth.
