	21	+The OSI has long played a role in community-building and education about how free/libre/open source licenses, and various related domains and business models, can provide a foundation for both socio-economic and business advantages. Through The FLOW Syllabus, the OSI-EDU-WG helps managers of projects, portfolios, organizations and consortia to thoroughly understand and engage the free/libre/open way, encompassing ethics, methods, processes, governance, HR management, strategy, security, law or financing.

21	21	The purpose of the OSI-EDU-WG is to coordinate the resourcing, maintenance and extension of a collectively curated guide to the concepts and methods underlying free/libre/open projects and organizations, tailored to assist "educators" in their design of learning programs.
22	22
23	23	Target educators are academic and business instructors, advisers (including legal counsel), as well as project and operations managers who need to effectively relate and discuss these topics with team members, executives, business partners, customers or constituents, and who therefore also function as educators. The guide is intended to be useful towards the development of on-site seminars or workshops, and online tutorials or webinars, in both formal or informal venues, including autonomous learning. It is adaptable to any venue or delivery methodology.

37		-The FLOW Syllabus is mainly a secondary source. Its approach is to identify the clearest, most useful freely-available web-based information that explains or illustrates the free/libre/open way: ethics, methods, processes, governance, HR management, strategy, security, law or financing. The FLOW Syllabus is a primary source _only_ when suitable external sources for particular concepts and methods have not yet been located.
