Below is the schedule for the during-workshop activities. This is only a very preliminary draft. All comments to Heidi Ellis (ellis@wne.edu).

Day 1 (Evening)

  1. Workshop Overview
    • Introduction of participants
    • Schedule
  2. Intro to FOSS
    • Intro to FOSS culture
    • Brief history of FOSS

Day 2

  1. Examples of HFOSS in Education
    • 50 ways to be a FOSSer - the variety of different contributions that can be made
    • This would be a high level overview of what students have done, without lots of detail on how.
    • Provide specific examples of existing student contributions
  2. Open Source Communities
    • Overview of 2-3 HFOSS projects: contact person, guide to getting started, Project Selection evaluation summary
    • Talk about FOSS Field trips and how they can be modified for student use.
    • POSSE Stage 3: Discussion of projects and indication of interest
  3. Course Management
    • For a project course: roadmap - learning outcomes and schedule of deliverables
    • For a single assignment: setting learning outcomes
    • Trying to find the right size project
    • Evaluating student work
    • Instructional style: mentoring vs. lecturing; instructor as co-learner
  4. Getting Started on a Project
    • Use Mousetrap?
    • Now lets get folks started in an HFOSS project.
    • Download and install an HFOSS project
    • Identify a small change that you could make.
    • Basic outline is here: http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_curriculum#Tuesday
    • Talk about how you would create student deliverables?
    • Experience reports from faculty on how they did this in a classroom.

Day 3

  1. Upstream Adoption
  2. Detailed Examples
    • Provide a more indepth walk through of how students accomplished the examples we presented in item 4 above.
    • Talk about assignments, grading, interacting with the community within a case study.
  3. Going Forward
  4. Student Involvement
  5. Licensing and IP - Move to Pre-Workshop?
    • I'm concerned that this topic may raise questions that might be better handled f2f? Or should we set up an IRC to specifically address this?

Other ideas to capture:

  • how to measure value added to an ongoing project started by others
