My name is Karl Wurst and I'm a CS professor at Worcester State College
in Massachusetts. I would like to be a participant in a POSSE this summer.

I am teaching our capstone projects course in the Fall, and rather than
having student teams design and build a small project from scratch, I
would like to get them to participate in an Open Source project. I
attended the SoftHum workshop at Drexel last summer, and wanted to have
my students last Fall participate in Open Source projects, but did not
feel that I understood the process well enough myself to guide the
students. I need to actually participate in a project to become
comfortable with the process, before I can feel comfortable requiring
the students to participate.

I would very much like to participate in a POSSE this summer to get that
 immersion experience, so that I can do it with my students in the Fall.
What POSSEs are being planned, and who do I contact to apply to participate.

Thanks.
