Despite the Internet-mediated decentralized development of much FOSS, in person participation remains a vital aspect of building and maintaining FOSS communities.
- Revised requirement: 2-6 out-of-class events depending on degree of difficulty
- 40 points total required, in any combination
- 10 pts, regular on-campus meeting =< 3 hrs (RITLUG)
- 15 pts, on-campus hackathon >= 3 hrs (Software Freedom Day, hackathon)
- 20 pts, off-campus in-town event (RocPy, Linux Workshop)
- 30 pts, out-of-town event (eg, Hack Upstate, LibrePlanet)
- must blog about it (similar to a litreview)
- must introduce yourself to the group you are visiting
- participation is subject to independent confirmation (academic integrity)
Students have wide latitude in what sort of event they attend.
Earning meetup credit depends less on the nature of the event and more about the students ability to identify the FOSS-related components of the event and to document in the corresponding blog post their involvement during the even with those components.
The student may wish to compare and contrast those aspect of the event that relate to FOSS with those that do not, or drawing such comparisons between the event in question and other events.
