Patti Ordóñez is an Assistant Professor at the University of Puerto Rico Río Piedras in the Department of Computer Science. Her research centers on using visualization and data mining (visual analytics) to improve the state of medicine in intensive care units. She is interested in creating clinical decision support systems that aid medical providers to efficiently diagnose and treat patients and that personalize medicine by applying data mining, machine learning, and visualization techniques to data warehouses of electronic medical data. She is also interested in developing technologies and universal interfaces to help anyone with an interest in developing software to learn to program. She is interested on working on Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) projects that she can have her student contribute to and are close to her research interests. She believes that projects like these will help diversify computing, something she is passionate about doing.

Exercise 2.6 Planning for HFOSS involvement
- What course(s) are you targeting?
- What learning outcomes would you like the students to achieve?
- 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.
- What HFOSS project will you use?
- What are the benefits of this project for this particular context (course & activity)?
- What are potential stumbling blocks?
- How do you want your students to interact with the community (if at all)?
- What tools will your students have to learn (if any)?
- Do you currently have the environment for this project to run (ie. is the hardware/OS available at your institution)?
- What type of materials/background do you think you will need to provide to the students?
- What would you like the students to do during this activity?
- How long do you expect the activity to take?
- What will the students hand in?
- How will you assess what students have learned from this activity?
