Open source comes to campus
We're free software enthusiasts.
We want college students to have the community knowledge and technical skills to participate in globally distributed software projects: Big ones, like Firefox and WordPress, and small ones, like PyBlosxom and angband.
Does that sound cool? We'll teach you.
You do not need to know how to program to contribute to free software. You can contribute code, but also original art, testing, documentation, web design, or anything else.
The Plan
On Saturday, February 16th, we invite you to a day-long immersion event.
In the morning, we'll teach you about open source licensing, collaboration tools, and how free software projects are organized.
In the afternoon, we'll help you make contributions to open source projects.
And throughout the day, we'll feed you, get to know you, and talk with you about opportunities for students in open source.
Space is pretty limited, so we'll focus on people with a real interest in learning. You must apply for a spot by filling out this form. Don't delay!
