Goals
Attendees should learn popular ways for open science communities and projects to communicate with each other. They should feel comfortable initiating communication with new projects or communities that they're interested in.

Specific goals:
 * Learn about popular communications tools such as:
 * IRC
 * Issue trackers
 * Mailing lists
 * Source Repositories
 * Also: forums, RSS feeds, social media (Twitter?),
 * Learn more about specific open science organizations and projects and how you can find their communication tools.
 * Students should begin communicating with at least one project.

Related work
List relevant curricula from other sources, activities, posts, video, etc. Add notes about material that inspires you, or that you might want to reuse.

Overall structure
''Mention any structural constraints. Do you want to make long & short versions of this? Does it have any knowledge dependencies? etc.''

Brainstorming
''This is the place for ideas about what to include in the presentation/activity. I find it useful to use the goals above as prompts for brainstorming.''
