Hello Haitham It's wonderful to see such initiative from a university assistant professor I'd recommend https://opensource.guide It's opensource contribution guide made by GitHub (our beloved GitHub ) Though , I'd recommend a way different topic to talk about it at least once , let's call 'spirit of opensource ' to tell students about : 1- opensource is about doing more than talking , the idea itself came from single person decided to take action Richard stallman , he acted when he saw there is a need to act 2- the idea of sharing , opensource is about sharing , knowledge , code , things 3- Being open to people and ideas , open source acticies are self filtering , if someone proposed something and no body liked it it will fade away , even for people , those who do not fit in any activity will eventually fade away 4- most of students are busy thinking about jobs , future and so on , try to tell them that highest paid jobs are opensource technologies developers , also people get hired from GitHub based on their work 5- even little things (contributing to code, documentations , telling people about it ) will matter to millions of other people , even single line 6- do not get intro some distribution wars , fedora vs Ubuntu , vim vs emacs , it doesn't really matter at all
At last I think you should consider to try the idea yourself to have the experience , it will add alot to you Thanks Ahmed M.
