HFOSS Project(s)	N/A
Description	While not interacting directly with a HFOSS project, the students will be learning about and interacting with open source software. In particular, Lab 0 will involve using IRC (one of the modes of communication in our class), and Lab 5 will involve performing a software scavenger hunt similar to what we did in Phase 1 of POSSE.
