Hi there,

I suppose you mean it is an insult to native Americans? It is not. It is a common phrase used in anthropology to indicate when you have lost your scientific distance to your field – becoming one of them rather than a reflected participant-observer.

Even so, the fact is that we are all native to some culture or another. So please don’t misunderstand my post as to say that some cultures (such as Native American cultures) are not worth taking part in. That’s not it.

I won’t delete your comment, but I must admit I don’t appreciate your hostile tone.

Hej Andreas, og et stort tillykke herfra. Det var jo ikke fordi vi fik netværket så meget, men jeg glæder mig på dine vejne og håber at få lov til at læse dit speciale (hvis det er noget du har lyst til at offentliggøre selvfølgelig) og hvem ved, måske får vi os en god snak på en tidspunkt snart.

God vedfortjent ferie herfra
Dina

Hey,
thanks for the positive comments. I’ll try to put up the rest of the thesis as soon as I can.

@Weiers: My fieldwork synopsis is available for download in the “Writings” section of this website, so you can easily have a look. And please do not hesitate to ask – I’ve touched upon a bit of learning theory in my thesis which might be of use to you.

@Dinda: PhD? Definitely maybe. But for now, I’ll be looking to find more of a real-life job after so many years in school. Though I won’t begin the job-hunt until I return from my holidays in late July…

Congratulations! I’m sure everyone in the Ubuntu community looks forward to reading your work and then having you back in the community. Next stop for you? PhD?

Hi Michael

This sounds absolutely fascinating. I have been working for the last two weeks on a thesis proposal for a M.Ed on learning theory and the assimilation of new users into the Ubuntu community (Particularly with regards to analyzing barriers that they experience as they move from being simple end users to becoming actively involved with the community.)

I’m still working on the proposal and I have no idea who to present my proposal to as yet. I would love to be able to look at your proposal that you submitted.

Congratulations on finishing the work
