Congratulations to everyone working on this grant. I know you've been
at it for quite some time. So well deserved. Can't wait to see all the
good you're able to do!

Hi Folks,
I am excited to announce that the National Science Foundation has funded
the most recent proposal created by the HFOSS team. Titled "Broadening
Participation through Authentic, Collaborative Engagement with Computing
for the Greater Good", we're calling the project OpenPace (Participation
via Authentic, Collaborative Engagement) for short. The grant is for
$1,965,000 over 5 years.
The project has five participating institutions: Drexel (Greg Hislop,
Wes Shumar), Dickinson (Grant Braught), Nassau Community College (Darci
Burdge, Lori Postner), Western New England University (Heidi Ellis,
Stoney Jackson), and Worcester State University (Karl Wurst). There are
five additional team members at a variety of other institutions: Steven
Huss-Lederman, Open Energy Dashboard; Clif Kussmaul, Green Mango; Cam
Macdonell, MacEwan University; Allen Tucker, Non-Profit FOSS Institute;
and Wes Turner, Rensselaer Center for Open Source.
The project will focus on providing an easier on-ramp for faculty
teaching FOSS in the form of HFOSS Kits and Instructor-Led Projects. It
also focuses on using HFOSS to attract women and other underrepresented
groups to study computing. In NSF-speak this is known as Broadening
Participation in Computing or BPC. And yes, there is some funding for
workshops so stay tuned for announcements when we can all travel again.
Heidi

Grant,
I might be interested, but my spare time is near 0, so I hate to commit.
Teaching 2 very large classes remotely in multiple time zones has me near
the breaking point.

Hi All,
With all the current travel restrictions and with SIGCSE 2021 being
virtual the more chances we can generate to gather and share thoughts and
ideas for how to engage students in open source the better, right? Well
the deadline for Birds-of-a-Feather submissions to SIGCSE (
https://sigcse2021.sigcse.org/authors/bofs/) is fast approaching (October
23rd). I am interested in submitting a proposal around ideas for engaging
students in open source and wanted to reach out to see if others might be
interested in working together on a proposal. So, if you are interested or
have thoughts on a theme (I have one or two as well) I?d love to have a
talk and see if we can work together on this. Please get in touch!
Best,
Grant Braught
