Open Source Software Development
Summer 2017 (Sections)
Things To Do:
- Visit an Open Source Event and write a report: http://calagator.org
Welcome. This Wiki is dedicated to our project course in open source software development for the UNIX environment. There is a list of current projects there.
This is a wiki. A wiki is a collaborative web site: once you're registered, you can (and should) help maintain these pages, and use the site as a work area. This wiki is hosted on GitHub under the project psu-oss-2017, which you and your summer project will join once you get started.
We will be using Slack as our primary course
communications tool. You will be expected to be available to
participate in the Slack discussion. You must use your
@pdx.edu email address and your real name to sign up. A
link to get you started will be sent to you once the course
is underway.
On the rare occasion that someone is hanging on IRC, they'll be at irc://irc.cat.pdx.edu:6667/osdl.
Much information is available at the pages of the 2016 offering of this course.
Other offerings that are still available: 2014, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007.

- Project Presentations
Final project are due Friday of week eight of class at 5:00 PM. There will be no formal turn-in: instead, the project GitHub repository will be graded directly.
There is a checklist of project requirements. A deduction of between a half-grade and a full letter grade will generally be the result of failing to meet these requirements (especially the copyright/license requirement), so please use this checklist carefully.
There are also guidelines for your final presentation.
A note on plagiarism: You are expected to follow the PSU student conduct code. Plagiarism is using other people's intellectual work (code, writing, ideas) without proper attribution. Open source is all about sharing code and ideas, but if you take them without saying where you got them you are a plagiarist; if I catch you I will be unimaginably unhappy.
