== SBR600 in Winter 2011 Fall 2013 ==

This semesterIn SBR600, students will you'll be working directly with the Fedora project and other open source communities, on various build and release projects. Some of this work This semester, most projects will be centered focus on the improvements to [[Fedora ARM Secondary Architecturehttp://pidora.ca Pidora]] project started by the Winter 2010 SBR600 class and continued in Fall 2010, and the rest of the projects will focus on other aspects of the a [[:fedora:Main PageFedora Remix|FedoraRemix]] build processfor the [http://raspberrypi. The skills required will vary according to the project selectedorg Raspberry Pi].

Note that, unlike some other project-based courses, the results of the projects done in SBR600 will be incorporated into Pidora, 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]]. Work performed in this course will be licensed using the relevant open source licenses used by the associated community.

Students * Course information and labs are online.* You will require access to a personal Fedora 13 18 or Fedora 14 19 installation, either . This may be on their your own laptop, on a virtual machine on their your laptop, on an SSH-accessible system (such as a home desktop computer), or on a SATA disk packor USB drive for use with the Seneca computers.* Recommended (optional): [[Purchase a Raspberry Pi]]

SBR600 is taught by [[User:Chris Tyler|Chris Tyler]] (Winter 2011).

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 within the community.

2. '''Blog.''' Tell your professor, your colleagues, the community, and everyone else what you're doing. Write a lot and write well, include good technical content, and incorporate links to all relevant resources and the product of your work, and write often. Most Almost all of your work in this course is submitted by blogging.

3. '''Be ambitious.''' In this course, you will need to be the driving force behind your project. The community will help you, but it's up to you to supply the energy. '''It's best to plan to make a bit of progress each day.'''
