@Gustavo, Thank you for the article! And congrats on the CSEET paper.
@Emily, OpenMRS might be complex but at least they are very active. If you reduce to a specific part of the system for having your students interact with that, that may be an option. Otherwise, if you reach out to Mozilla (Mike Hoye) or RedHat (e.g. via Gina Likins) I believe both companies do some shepherding for student courses.

And I did. I wrote an experience report about that. I hope you enjoy. https://medium.com/@gustavopinto/training-students-with-open-source-software-6bb114ec7db4 Thanks Gustavo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(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!

It is a free real-time operating system used in a lot of space and science applications. We (like OpenMRS) have participated in both GSoC and Google Code-In multiple times. We try to keep active project lists of multiple complexity levels. If we have a heads up of skill range and quantity of students, we can be sure to have an appropriate set of tasks/ideas reviewed and ready. Plus the community can be aware of the expected students and be on point to be extra helpful. Just to to know the expectations so we can see about meeting you halfway. FWIW: The OpenMRS folks I have met are great. I don't know what issues folks had working with them but approaching them with a heads up may also improve the students' experience. --joel RTEMS On Sep 9, 2017 8:29 PM, "Emily M.
