To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, OpenHatch development <[email protected]>, Planning for Open Source Comes to Campus <[email protected]>
Hello all, Open Source Comes to Campus has always had a brief section of our curriculum where we talk about why you might want to contribute to FLOSS projects. I want to improve that section by providing students with real quotes from real people who they can identify with. To do that, I'm putting out a call: In 200 words or less, please describe why you contribute to free/open source projects. Feel free to talk about multiple reasons, changes of opinion or circumstance, hesitations you once or currently feel, and any biographical details you think are relevant. For instance, my contribution might say: *"I began contributing to the community by participating in discussions about open government and open science. I think knowledge - especially knowledge about how our government runs, and what we've learned about how the world works - belongs to everyone and should be easy to access. That's still important to me, but I also find the things I learn through contributing and the friends I've made in the community to be immensely valuable as well."* You can send your contributions to [email protected] with "Why I Contribute" in the subject line. Please also include the name you would like us to list your quote with. If you have a personal or professional website you would like us to link to, please include that as well. Feel free to forward this email. best, Shauna _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openhatch.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
