+ | Stage 1 | ||
+ | First two weeks seem OK | ||
+ | 1.4 Register a channel on freenode: http://blog.freenode.net/2008/04/registering-a-channel-on-freenode/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Second two weeks | ||
+ | 2.1 - both Karl & Greg have sample activities | ||
+ | create one on wordpress | ||
+ | look at http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Planet_Feed_List on how to set up a blog and tag | ||
+ | post on personal page on wiki | ||
+ | include information on planet and talking about tagging blog posts - provides a way to direct certain posts to outside groups through planets or aggregators without having to send all your posts there. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2.2 - post on personal page on wiki | ||
+ | 2.3 - Etherpad - may not need to be done in stage 1; don't want the use to seem artificial - seems like no good use of this during the second two weeks | ||
+ | |||
+ | What goes on a blog vs. wiki | ||
+ | wiki - achival - what will people want to know about in the future? project structure, things people need to know - documentation | ||
+ | blog - personal reflection - experience based - commentary | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2.4 FOSS field trip - should be posted on a blog as opposed to wiki | ||
+ | |||
+ | what goes on personal page on wiki vs. general l foss2serve wiki? | ||
+ | 2.5 list of projects and evaluations and have people add to/edit that wiki page | ||
+ | Have the participants choose a project from the list of projects on the foss2serve wiki, and then put up their evaluation on that page (this will help build up the catalog of projects....) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Third two weeks: | ||
+ | 3.4 - perhaps this should be presented as more of a brain storming activity and make it clear that these are initial thoughts based upon what the the participant has learned thus far | ||
+ | |||
+ | *** During stage 1 we need some type of question/answer period - office hours, email, piazza, list serv, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Stage 2 | ||
+ | pedagogy & accessment | ||
+ | student team management | ||
+ | class dynamic & organization | ||
+ | class roadmap | ||
+ | |||
+ | have people available on IRC to help with the download/install of project | ||
+ | |||
+ | should the order of the pre-workshop activites be re-arranged? for example, should if the field trip is open ended, should that come before the FOSS in courses activity where they focus on one? | ||

+ | release numbering is 1.4.concrete for next release, 1.4.x for issues that's not too far off and may lead to smaller architectural changes (but might never get fixed if things go badly), 1.5.x for their next architectural vision which will overhaul the entire project | ||
+ | Upstream/Downstream: ? | ||
+ | uses svn/bzr? | ||
+ | general definition: upstream is where THE source for the project lives, what will get released; downstream is where YOU work and try to fix things; patches go from downstream to upstream, not sure how in lighty yet | ||
