Background
Teaching Open Source is the primary website for academics interested in open source and involving their students in open source projects. TeachingOpenSource.org was set up in March 2009. The goal of the site is to foster collaboration and members are both academics and industry leaders.
NOTE: Over the years, the TOS wiki has been uncontrolled and heavily spammed. There is currently a project in process to rebuild the wiki and bring it under administrative control. Because of that, we are using an alternative version of Part 2 below that does not require editing the TOS wiki. - 2016-09-16
Directions
Part 1 - Joining the Teaching Open Source Mailing List
Teaching Open Source (TOS)- http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Main_Page - is a "neutral collaboration point for professors, institutions, communities, and companies to come together and make the teaching of Open Source a global success." You will visit this site and sign up for the list serv.
Do the following:
- Go to: http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Main_Page
- Locate the Get Involved section.
- Click the Join the mailing list link.
- Read through the information on the resulting page. Click the mailing list link.
- Complete the information in the form and click the Subscribe button.
Part 2 - Exploring the TOS Wiki
Wikis are a common tool in open source projects. At noted above, the TOS wiki is currently locked down for rebuilding. So we would like you to explore the site a bit but you will not be making any changes.
- Go to the TOS homepage: [1]
- Using the top menu items select "People" and then "Roll Call"
- Browse the list of TOS participants noting the mix of faculty members and open source project professionals
- Locate a few people with HFOSS interests similar to your own
Deliverables
POSSE: None (but, you should now be subscribed to the TOS mailing list)
