   1. Develop a familiarity and appreciation of FOSS.
   2. Discuss social, ethical, and political implications of FOSS.
3. What type of activity do you want to incorporate? Sample activities could be HFOSS field trips, installing, documenting, testing, or code development. See http://xcitegroup.org/softhum/doku.php?id=f:50ways for more ideas.

5. What are the benefits of this project for this particular context (course & activity)?
6. What are potential stumbling blocks?
7. How do you want your students to interact with the community (if at all)?
8. What tools will your students have to learn (if any)?
9. Do you currently have the environment for this project to run (ie. is the hardware/OS available at your institution)?
10. What type of materials/background do you think you will need to provide to the students?
