Design the modules for outbound OSS course

[anajsana]

Define and design the modules.

• Do we want to keep the same ones as in outbound-oss repo or make changes for the course?
• What is the best sequence to use from a teaching point of view (e.g adding a test at the end of each module)?

Here is an idea of the potential title and overview to get started:

In the past OSPO Career Path WG meeting @winterrocks and I discussed the idea that the content that is being done in the Employee OSS Guide working group should be considered to be added here: https://github.com/todogroup/todogroup.org/milestone/1
