<br />
<br />How will you incorporate what you learned here in your course work?
<br />
<br />I will begin by incorporating open source communication channels
<br />and collaboration systems into my existing, non-open-source-specific
<br />courses. In the beginning, this will be as simple as defining an
<br />IRC channel with specific "office hours" for my courses. My goal
<br />would be to get my students familiar with this form of communication
<br />so widely used in open source projects. I also plan to have at least
<br />one project that would involve students checking out and modifying some
<br />existing code and handing in the assignment as a patch file. I believe
<br />that I can implement these features even in introductory programming
<br />courses.

I would also certainly have students get involved as contributors to an open project.
<br />
<br />I would also want them to read about open source culture. So, it would be nice to have a list of readings. I guess that the GNU Manifesto and the Cathedral and Bazzar would be on the list.
<br />
<br />Does anyone have suggestions for other readings that should be on the "standard open source syllabus"?
