I have a paper that looks like it will be published in the Social
Science Computer Review journal on my own distance learning experience
in open source GIS that was, I would say, partially successful. I
reference OSGeo in it in that I am saying that the tutorials we used
were stored in our education group repository. 

I'll send the citation once it is published in case people are
interested.
