Stormy ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Luis Ibanez <luis.ibanez@...> Date: Sat, Oct 31, 2009 at 12:42 PM Subject: Re: [TOS] FSOSS session notes To: Stormy Peters <stormy.peters@...> Cc: Mel Chua <mel@...>, TOS <tos@...>, Will Schroeder <will.schroeder@...>, Badri Roysam <roysam@...>, Mukkai Krishnamoorthy <moorthy@...> Stormy, This is a great idea, and it is very much needed. We are currently running our "Open Source Software Practices" course http://public.kitware.com/OpenSourceSoftwarePractice/index.php/Main_Page at RPI (http://www.rpi.edu) and will appreciate to have a visiting speaker from the GNOME project. Should we simply ask our name/course to the page: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents/Speakers (?) ---- Here are several typical needs that an "Open Source Course" have from "Open Source Projects": a) Case studies: for example, we cover a couple of sessions on "Governance and community management". We talk about the projects that we manage (www.itk.org, www.vtk.org, www.paraview.org), but it is very useful to have other cases. We have used tele-participation in the past (if that helps) via Skype. b) Class projects: students must work on a FOSS as part of their grade. They tend to have difficulties identifying a community that they can join, and managing to find something interesting that can be executed in about 12 weeks (with about 2~4 hours of work a week). Do you have a list of "low hanging fruit" in your bug tracker and or feature request list, that students could work on as part of their class project. c) Talks to the larger community: (not just the class). This works better with a FOSS project representative visiting the school for on day. It will be great is someone from GNOME was available in the period from now to Dec 10. We will be happy to provide more details if you are interested.

Hi All:
My parents live in upstate New York and I'm probably headed down to visit them over Thanksgiving. One of the routes I drive down to my parent's house takes me through Troy, so it might be a welcome driving break to stop by and give a talk, assuming I can talk my wife and son into hanging out somewhere for an hour and a half or so. I'd also like to try to hook up with Ephraim Glinert (Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at RPI) if possible -- he was involved in some of the Java Accessibility API work we did back in the late 90's. So, if RPI is not going to be shut down the week of Thanksgiving, I might be available to speak Mon-Wed. Will PS - I'm also trying to hook up with the National Technology Institute for the Deaf at RIT in Rochester that week. If both RPI and RIT are available, it might get a little tight, but still fun.
