→Software Build and Release - SBR600
[[Category:SBR600]]Software build and release is the process of building (compiling, testing, and packaging) software for testing or in preparation for release, and the release and distribution of the built software and updates.
This course is a professional option in the [http://scs.senecac.on.ca/ Seneca School of Computer Studies] [https://scs.senecac.on.ca/cty CTY ] program. It has been offered since January 2009.
== SBR600 in Winter 2011 ==
This semester, students will be working directly with the Fedora project and other open source communities, on various build and release projects. Some of this work will be centered on the [[Fedora ARM Secondary Architecture]] 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 [[:fedora:Main Page|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]]. Work performed in this course will be licensed using the relevant open source licenses used by the associated community.
Working in an open source community provides the opportunity to build solid real-world experience, your technical skills and reputation, and a network of contacts, all of which are useful in developing your career.
This semester, in late January, some representatives from Seneca will be attending [[FUDCon Tempe 2011]] (Tempe AZ).
=== Course Materials ===
Students will require access to a personal Fedora 13 or Fedora 14 installation, either on their own laptop, on a virtual machine on their laptop, on an SSH-accessible system (such as a home desktop computer), or on a SATA disk pack.
