Dear TOS Members, Ed Gehringer is having trouble posting to the listserv, so I'm sending this message for him.
-- SamR Hi listmembers, Do you know of anyone--inside or outside a university--who has had a (high school, college, or university) class develop code for their OSS project? Since there's great interest in using OSS projects in classes, I thought it would be a good topic for a paper. I submitted an abstract to Frontiers in Education, and it was accepted. But it turns out that it's hard to find such people associated with OSS projects (managers, committers, technical leads--they go by different names on different projects). I've obtained input from only a half-dozen people, notably those working with H-FOSS projects such as Sahana. That's enough to write a good abstract. It's not enough to fill a whole paper. So, if you ARE such a person (outside classes have worked on your OSS project), could you fill out my survey at https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHByQlBBcEhZMWVEeTJ5SGpXam9SeUE6MA#gid=0 ? Or, if you know of someone who might be able to help, could you forward this message and/or send me that person's name and e-mail address? Many thanks, Ed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edward F.
