Our students get some exposure to the tools and techniques from the field, but they do not get enough. To that end, we are working with IMSA, our student organization in Information Systems to offer short workshops, so they can get more of what they need to be competitive in the job market.

On Monday, September 24, I had the chance to address Sameer Verma's ISYS 573 class at San Francisco State University, a "Detailed study of the management of open source software and related processes." We talked about mailing lists, IRC chat, bug trackers, netiquette, and how all that interacts in real open source projects like Debian.

Why? A common question.

Submitted by Sameer Verma on Fri, 09/14/2012 - 09:48

Software Freedom Day 2012 was a success! A lot of fun and education for the campus community. We handed out over 100 CDs of Free and Open Source Software. If you missed out, you can head over to valo-cd.net for software titles for Windows, or opensourcemac.org for MacOSX software.

All the software is free to use for any purpose you see fit - no limitations such as "Academic use only".
