Notes:

• "POSSE2" is an informal name for a faculty workshop being created to address the learning needs of instructors who would like to have their students participate in HFOSS projects, but need to get themselves up to speed first. The workshop draws on ideas first tried in the Red Hat, Inc. POSSE program.
