fOSSa 2010 Free Open Source Software Academia Conference Grenoble France.

Hi, I’m going to chair the panel. It will be partly a traditional panel, asking some questions to any of the above-mentioned speakers, and partly an unconference panel, involving as many people of the audience as possible.
Now, I want to introduce some questions of mine asking for your feedback. Do you like it? Would you like to add anything else? Are they really interesting? Help me in finding the right question for speakers and attendees. I’d like not to have an auto-referential panel, but a place to gather new ideas and proposals to be brought to people that have a role in education at different levels to foster the right way of FOSS promotion.
Here are some questions.
to IT students
Which are the FOSS skills you need more? Technological ones, legal ones, community development, collaborative project management, others?
to students and professors
Which is the most useful subject to be taught at universities? FOSS technologies per-se? How to contribute in FOSS development? FOSS founding values? All of them?
Do you think the previous skills are specific only of a FOSS training course or a master, or should they be inserted into the traditional training program of IT courses?
to enterprises
What are your expectations about FOSS skills in hiring a student coming out from university? Do you care about IT skills only, or do you think that knowledge of FOSS specific aspects (legal, community development, collaboration, etc.) is valuable? Is it just valuable or crucial?
to everybody
How much the knowledge of FOSS by a group of skilled people (students, professors, entrepreneurs) must be supported by knowledge of FOSS values in the broader society? What should we practically do in order to support this dissemination?
