Week 1

  • Some questions:
    • When you hear "open source," what comes to mind?
    • On a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very)...
      • How comfortable are you working with technology you've never seen before?
      • How curious are you about how things work?
      • How likely are you to stick with a problem when it gets hard to solve?
      • How likely are you to ask for help when you get stuck?
      • How likely are you to pause your own work in order to help someone else who is stuck?
      • How self-motivated are you?
      • How self-directed are you?
  • How to have Success in this course:
    • Willingness to be lost and not panic
    • Willingness to put yourself out there, jump in
    • Curiosity
    • Being driven, persistence
    • Willingness to ask for help
    • Willingness to give others help
    • Independent learning
    • Doing more than the bare minimum
  • Let's talk about Copyright and Open Source Licenses
      • IANAL: "I Am Not A Lawyer"
      • We're going to explore licensing from the POV of a developer participating in open projects
  • Copyright (Copyright in Canada video)
    • Who created it, "owns" it.
    • Set of exclusive rights granted to the work's creator
    • "The right to copy," to produce or reproduce a work or substantial portion thereof
    • Copyright is automatic when a work is created, you don't have to register it.
    • Copyright in Canada
    • Copyright Guide
    • In a software project, there can be many copyright holders (e.g., many contributors), or all contributors may assign their copyright to the project (e.g., CLA, which we'll cover later)

Week 2

    • Rights, privileges, responsibilities, etc. applicable to someone other than the work's creator
