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. The strategic purpose of the OSI Management Education Working Group (OSI-EDU-WG) is to help 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.

25	25	The FLOW Syllabus is tailored to assist "educators" in their design of learning programs. The educators we have in mind 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.
26	26
27	27	The FLOW Syllabus 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.

32	32
33		-
34	34	The OSI-EDU-WG is concerned with anything related to discussing, developing and disseminating peer-reviewed learning assets to help the managers of projects, portfolios, organizations or consortia gain an advanced understanding of strategies, processes and methods to optimize value, to control costs, and to manage risk through effective coordination, resourcing and governance of Free/Libre/Open Works (FLOW).
35	35
36	36	Topics that are "out of scope" involve anything not directly related to the project-level through inter-organizational competencies required by managers of free/libre/open works. The FLOW Syllabus does __not__ address the relative merits of various economic, political or sociological theories or scenarios. And the Syllabus is not the place for marketing or evangelizing of particular free/libre/open software or services.

45		-The OSI-EDU-WG notes that at present (June 2014) the governing bodies of the most widely used frameworks in the field of project management education, standardization and certification all neglect the free/libre/open way in their documentation of competencies, and furthermore they operate under restrictive intellectual rights stances. The OSI-EDU-WG will pro-actively encourage such organizations to include the free/libre/open way in their scope and operations.
	47	+The OSI-EDU-WG notes that at present (June 2014) the global governing bodies of the four most widely used frameworks in the field of project management education, standardization and certification each neglect the methods and processes of free/libre/open way in their documentation of competencies ([[ISO TC 258>>url:http://www.iso.org/iso/standards_development/technical_committees/other_bodies/iso_technical_committee.htm?commid=624837||title="ISO TC 258"]], [[IPMA>>url:http://ipma.ch/||rel="__blank" title="IPMA"]], [[ICCPM>>url:https://iccpm.com/]], [[GAPPS>>url:http://www.globalpmstandards.org/]]). Furthermore they each operate under restrictive intellectual rights stances. Through the FLOW Syllabus the OSI-EDU-WG will be able to pragmatically encourage such organizations to include the free/libre/open way in their respective domains and operations.
