Knowledge, Learning, Community

What I like about this resource is that it goes well beyond the traditional 'introduction to open source software (OSS)' (part 1) and licensing (part 5) and looks at deeper subjects, including a discussion of the OSS community and how it communicates, a look at the OSS development environment, an a useful outline of the Git version software sharing and version control system. These are the sorts of things people getting started with open source actually need, and it's good to see them put together like this.
