Start up
Watch these pages for the Open Source SIG startup announcement in early 2014.
- The first meeting of the Open Source Special Interest Group is on Thursday January 30th from 5PM to 6PM in T2107. There will be a panel discussion and Q&A session with some senior students on their experiences in open source, along with a practical workshop on getting involved in an open source project.
- The next meeting (Thursday March 6th, from 5PM to 6PM in T1009) will have several guests from open source communities who will give an introduction to their projects and how new people can start getting involved and possibly make contributions.
- For the next meeting (Thursday March 20th from 5PM to 6PM in T2107) we have a guest from an open source project who will be running an introductory workshop on tools commonly used in being a member of that project (e.g. communicating with the community, contributing to the project).
