It almost goes without saying, but it’s always nice when the instructions for setting up the development environment for a project work! We often find that those instructions are out of date.

We normally conduct open source awareness sessions by students to their juniors like open source principles, philosophy, what is HFOSS, how to use got, IRC, identify open source projects and how to get connected. I need to thank RedHat University Outreach program from Pune India, they are mentoring four open source projects from last 8 months, where students learnt many open source culture and contributed many patches. These projects are under the verge of completion but again they are involving thier juniors to continue. We are very much happy that within three years of span our open source club grown up from 11 memebers to 68 members. Culture, environment and mindset about open source is initiated.

Most people get involved with a community because they use and care about the software, and gradually get more involved in the community, following an onion or pyramid model. First they use the software, then they ask & answer forum questions, then submit bug reports & feature requests, then patches / pull requests, etc. It might be hard to follow this model in a course, but I think students would be more motivated and engaged in a project that they used and felt connected to.

Message-ID: <909a2f7b-e86e-aa96-08ac-134501337...@redhat.com<mailto:909a2f7b-e86e-aa96-08ac-134501337...@redhat.com>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Obviously, no teacher, class, or academic institution are the same, but I'm curious to know what aspects of an open source community make it "good" for you to connect your students with it. Not looking to make a list of "good" communities, but rather, interested in hearing what things that they do that made them a "good" fit. Are there things that you wish open source communities would do more often (or at all) to help make them more student/academic friendly? I've got my own ideas here, but I'm interested in hearing this from an academic perspective first. :) Thanks in advance, ~tom _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org<mailto:tos@teachingopensource.org> http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flists.teachingopensource.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Ftos&data=02%7C01%7Chislopg%40drexel.edu%7C13df19aa8ae646e2f1af08d583555560%7C3664e6fa47bd45a696708c4f080f8ca6%7C0%7C1%7C636559324898915286&sdata=0YscwwEU7Bqhmpx6ACbXEP%2BUTRsuOJBxyH6RWuB5dF8%3D&reserved=0> TOS website: http://teachingopensource.org/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fteachingopensource.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Chislopg%40drexel.edu%7C13df19aa8ae646e2f1af08d583555560%7C3664e6fa47bd45a696708c4f080f8ca6%7C0%7C1%7C636559324898915286&sdata=7ERYAJVTkyuKz7BlmvRH6q6XUOTJKFmfznWk4Te%2BS8M%3D&reserved=0>
