Line 9:
Read through the following questions and think about what projects your answers suggest. Write those projects down on the etherpad:
<blockquote>What open source software do you use? For instance, if you use Firefox, are you interested in helping improve it? You can also consider related projects, in this case Firefox add-ons, or programs/libraries that Firefox uses to function. If you're not sure which of the software you use is open source, make a list of what you use and do a search to find out if they're open source. </blockquote>
<blockquote>Is there a project whose goals you find compelling? For instance, you might want to look at humanitarian projects like Sahana, or projects relating to a hobby of yours like music, videogames, or reading. If you're studying science or engineering, you might look for projects that are used by people in your field.</blockquote>
