My Adventure with Open Source Development at Seneca College
For my professional development, I want to find out how to teach and learn open source development. It is a privilege and honor for me to get immersed in the open source movement at Seneca. From January - April 2009, Jordan Anastasaide has graciously allowed me to go alongside with his Eclipse Web Tools Platform (Eclipse WTP) class such that I may have first-hand experience on open-source development. I am excited about immersing myself in this culture of being open in fixing bugs. As suggested by Jordan, I am going to blog what I have experienced in this community as if I were a reporter on the field. What I have experienced for the last two weeks has already affected how I teach JAC444 and BTP400 this semester. Indeed I am using wikis as a teaching and learning tool for the first time in my teaching career...
The Thrill of Fixing a WTP Bug
I enjoyed the experience of fixing a WTP bug. I'm glad to know that I have made a little bit of contribution to the the Eclipse WTP project.
Bug #256185 [6]
- status: a patch created on 3/13/2009; changed to FIXED on 4/27/2009

Comment #29 From Valentin Baciu 2009-05-26 11:37:10 -0400: *** Bug 277839 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
More Surprises
Time flies. From May to August, Jordan has again graciously allowed me to take part in his second Eclipse WTP class. As far as I'm concerned, the students in his Winter 2009 class have accomplished a lot within a course structure, bearing in mind that they started from zero. [7] I'm looking forward to having another adventure with the Eclipse WTP student team.
Time flies again. I am now exploring the Eclipse Linux Tools project. After inviting Andrew Overholt (Red Hat) to speak to the students in my Java classes (JAC444) on March 9, 2010, I have created Learning Labs for Eclipse Linux Tools.
