At West 08 there was talk of a professor at PSU who was, or did, create
course content for potential distribution to other schools, NGOs or where
ever. What became of this material? If it exists, where does it live? Has
there been any success stories 'selling' it to universities or elsewhere?
Thanks,
Andrew Lardinois

That's Len Shapiro: http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~len/
Some of the notes are at http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~len/386/ and
http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~len/587/ For example, if you look at "15. A
typical relation query optimizer", the examples are in PostgreSQL.
Can't tell you what's come of popularizing the material, but that's
where some of it lives at if that helps you out.
