Hi Emily, I've got a senior-level Software Engineering course and we've started working on Accessibility aspects of the Mozilla Dev Tools. The community has been quite helpful and they have had students from UCOSP (http://ucosp.ca/) a program that brings together students from across Canada to work on open source projects. We're still figuring out what we need to do to install the dev environment and haven't figured out exactly what we'll be doing, but there are good bugs available :-)

(I’ll reply to each of your e-mails just as soon as I catch my breath!) I’m also trying to refine my shortlist of humanitarian FOSS projects to let students select from this semester. It seems that some of the projects previously recommended by foss2serve/POSSE are no longer good options for the following reasons: - MouseTrap<https://github.com/GNOME/mousetrap>: I don’t see much activity in the past 2 years - OpenMRS<https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core>: I’ve heard that this has not worked well for others, due to the complexity/scale of the project - Ushahidi<https://github.com/ushahidi/Ushahidi_Web>: looks like it is no longer being developed as a FOSS project? Communities I’m still thinking about include: - Sahana Eden<https://github.com/sahana/eden> - Mifos<https://github.com/openMF/community-app> - Sugar<https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar>, possibly? I don’t see much activity here either... I’d love to hear if there are other HFOSS communities that folks have had success with - or if you have anything encouraging or discouraging to add about the above. Any and all input welcome!
