[TOS] All Things Open Conference

[Heidi Ellis]

Hi Folks,

All Things Open is an education-friendly conference on open source that
is also a lot of fun! The call for presentations is open now until April
30th. While not a paper, the presentations are fun and I've found the
conference a great place to learn more about open source and interact
with open source community members. More information here:

Enjoy!
Heidi

[TOS] So much exciting news today!

[Heidi Ellis]

Hi Folks,

Apologies for the multiple emails. I keep finding more cool opportunities!!  
The Center for Research in Open Source Software (CROSS) at the University of 
Santa Cruz is now accepting student proposals for their Open Source Research 
Experience (OSRE) Program Summer 
2021. Deadline is 
April 30th.

The goal of this program is to increase student capabilities in working in open 
source projects, add productive contributors to on-going projects, and further 
promote open source at UC Santa Cruz. CROSS has created a list of project 
ideas that can be used as a basis for 
student project proposals.

Enjoy!

Heidi

[TOS] Interesting Resources

[Heidi Ellis]

Hi Folks,

In my surfing for things related to supporting student participation in open 
source, I ran across several new articles/resource that folks may find of 
interest. And some of these are authored by POSSE alums!

Enjoy!
Heidi

  *   Marco Gerosa (POSSE alum), Georg Link, Gregorio Robles, Anita Sarma, Igor 
Steinmacher, Christoph Treude, Bianca Trinkenreich, Igor Wiese have updated the 
study on What motivates open source software 
contributors?
 One snippet of interest is that enjoying helping others (89%) and kinship 
(80%) rose in the rankings compared to surveys from the early 2000s.

  *   Gustavo Pinto (POSSE alum) has written a book on Open Source Licensing 
101 which provides a great 
introduction to open source licensing for students.

  *   Red Hat has produced a 
checklist
 for assessing the health of an open source project. This could serve both as a 
way for instructors to assess projects and as a possible student assignment to 
evaluate an open source community.

  *   Citizen Statistician has written an experience report on Open-source 
contribution as a student 
project.
 A brief step-by-step explanation of student involvement in updating an R 
package.
