→SBR600 in Fall 2010
This semester, students will be working directly with the Fedora project, on various build and release projects. Some of this work will be centered on the [[Fedora ARM Secondary Architecture]] project started by the January 2010 SBR600 class, and the rest of the projects will focus on other aspects of the Fedora build process. The skills required will vary according to the project selected.
Note that, unlike some other project-based courses, the results of the projects done in SBR600 will be incorporated into the Fedora project (or other open source projects) and have a real impact on other people. For this reason, projects must be completed in collaboration with the relevant open source communities, using relevant [[SBR600 Communication Tools|communication tools]].
Students will require access to a personal Fedora installation, either on their own laptop, on a virtual machine on their laptop, or on a SATA disk pack.
=== Succeeding in SBR600 ===
There are two keys to success in this course:
1. Work in the open source community. The projects we will be doing are too large and too unfamiliar for you to succeed entirely on your own. You will need to use the community's knowledge, connections, and resources to succeed well. Respect the community's standards, tell the community what you're doing, ask when you have a question, and pull your own weight.
2. Blog. Tell your professor and everyone else what you're doing. Write well, include good technical content, and incorporate links to all relevant resources and the product of your work.
