| Open Source Independent Studies |
| 2010-02-08 20:47:22 |
You have an open source project. You discover something that it would be really awesome to have added to your project, but you can't justify bumping it up the priority queue. It clearly has a bit of core CS theory in it, a bit of old-skool hacking, and the end product will add some real value to your project (and possibly the lives of thousands of people). How do you get a college student to take this on as an independent study project?
Mel Chua pointed to a possible project regarding the number of active Fedora installs. Her intuition was to say "huh, this is something I could work on, write a paper about, and turn in for school, if I were still in school." She's exactly right—it would make a wonderful independent study project.
Here is one roadmap for involving a student in your project under the aegis of an "independent study" or independent research/hacking experience. While it is true that they could "just contribute to your project for the greater good of humanity," the real...

| Open Source Mapping Framework Based on ActionScript 3 and Flex |
| 2009-12-15 02:10:53 |
OpenScales 1.1 was just released last week so the community seems strong and working toward increasing its functionality quickly. If you are working on Adobe web technology and want an open source mapping framework, you might want to check out OpenScales. Given the huge adoption for both for mapping, an open source mapping framework usingActionScript 3 and Flex has appeared.OpenScales, which has a LGPL license will allow those who want to build “rich” (rich is the keyword for any Flash or Silverlight app, if it ain’t rich, it ain’t a plugin) web mapping applications without need to license proprietary development frameworks. You can see from the demos that this ends up being very similar to other Flex based APIs.On top of that, it supports WMS/WFS, OpenStreetMap, IGN, KML and direct image reading. You can also deploy on mobile using ActionScript 3 (Palm Pre support), web using wlex or on the desktop using Adobe Air.FunctionalitiesSupport different kinds of layers OGC protoc...

| 2009-10-06 21:31:18 |
Professors' Open Source Summer Experience (POSSE), a training bootcamp targeted for faculty members of technical universities in Asia is being organized from November 9-13, 2009 at Nanyang Polytechnic in Singapore. Faculty members from Singapore, Malaysia, China, India are expected to participate. The first camp was held in Raleigh, North Carolina earlier this year in July. The goals for the camp are ambitious. A cross-section of topics focusing on development tools and techniques aims to recruit new contributors to open source projects by providing a hands-on experience to participants using Fedora as project examples. The 5-day camp starts with an overview of open source, then dives into communication tools such as IRC, wikis and blogs to teach participants how to be effective contributors. Development topics include compiling source code, using build tools, setting up a build environment and packaging with RPM. Testing and bug fixing are easy routes for users to be...

| Engaging Developers with Open Source Projects (OSS Watch Workshop) |
| 2009-10-03 08:05:30 |
Why should software developers who create local customisations of open-source software take the further step of submitting their changes back to the main project? While it takes more effort initially, having these changes integrated in the project becomes efficient in the long run: local modifications need not be re-applied at every upgrade, and the project takes over their maintenance. By building up a record of useful contributions, one can gain influence in shaping the project's future.The OSS Watch workshop will present this argument in greater detail, explaining how developers engaged in customisations of open-source software should make these contributions. Presentations of projects that benefited from this type of engagement of their developers with open-source software will be presented by the people directly involved in these processes.The event is free, and open to all.Programme (more detail will be added as it becomes available)09.30 Registration10.30 Welcome10.40 Presentat...
