activities will take 2-3 hours/week and include interaction among
workshop instructors and participants.

20-22, 2017. Participants will include the workshop organizers, POSSE
alumni, and open source community members.
Stage 3 - Starts immediately after stage 2 and consists of online
activities and interactions among small groups so that participants
will have support while involving students in an HFOSS project in the
classroom.
