	3	+== Purpose ==
	4	+
	5	+The purpose of this Working Group is to adapt, develop and disseminate learning resources to help project managers of projects, portfolios, organizations or consortia gain an advanced understanding of strategies, processes and methods for the management, resourcing and governance of Free/Libre/Open Works (FLOW).
	6	+
	7	+These learning resources:
	8	+* Are concerned with the application of explicit free/libre/open arrangements relating to:
	9	+– Software, specifications, diagrams, tables, documentation and any other [[http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/102 copyrightable works];
	10	+– Data, ideas and designs that might otherwise be restricted through practices and under laws besides copyright.
	11	+* Are structured upon the pluralist premise that there is intrinsic value in communicating the multiple points of view on issues and topics, taking into account the merging and differentiation of various concepts and motivations through time;
	12	+* Should be useful on their own, and as supplements to other professional and academic learning resources for managers of projects, portfolios, organizations or consortia.
	13	+* Are made available under the CC-by-sa v4 and the GNU-fdl v2 licenses to any organization or individual to use, re-brand, adapt, redistribute and independently host:
	14	+– Those who prefer the CC-by-sa v4 can contribute dual-licensed content to the core and to their own instance, or add solely CC-by-sa licensed content to their own instance;

3	3	Mainstream management education is only superficially engaging with the evolution of successful free/libre/open source software development methodologies. Widely used educational materials — such as the PMP (Project Management Professional) and PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments, v.2) certifications — do not effectively address open source issues, including ethics, methods, processes, governance, HR management, corporate strategy, law, and financing.

5	5	OSI would like to charter a working group to address this gap, in order to fulfill its mission by helping educate the public, and management of technology organizations, about the benefits of open source.
