Additionally, the tools and skills we'll cover are universally useful and aren't typically taught in school, so anyone with an interest in the material is welcome and encouraged to attend! Line 26 ⟶ 24: By the end of this workshop you will have hands-on experience with all of the common tools used to contribute to open source projects and will be ready to go out and contribute to your first project. We'll wrap up with resources to continue practicing and ways to find good projects and bugs for new contributors. Space is limited, so <b>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dE9zdGJxYXRwV1I3MUVCT3NwelJzd3c6MQ you must RSVP for this event]</b>! ~~(Signup link forthcoming)~~ ~~(Location of Thursday part: TBA)~~ ~~(Location of Saturday part: TBA)~~ == Thursday schedule == ~~'''Status: Tentative'''~~ * 5:40 PM: Optional pre-talk laptop setup time. Milk and cookies provided by ACM. * 6 PM: JHU ACM meeting on "How to communicate with open source communities, as a user" (derived from [https://openhatch.org/wiki/Open_Source_Comes_to_Campus/Curriculum/Saturday/User_communication] and [http://web.mit.edu/jesstess/www/FOSS_communication.pdf]). Current plan is that Asheesh gives this. I'm open to other ideas! (: Location: Hackerman Hall, B17 == Saturday schedule == * 10 - 10:10: Welcome, and introduction, and brief staff self-introductions.

Students and panelists have time to chat. * 1:00 - 1:55 PM: Full-group discussion of how ~~open~~version ~~source~~control ~~projects are organized, and how~~with git works. It'd be great if this included a demonstration of reviewing and merging an actual contribution so the students can see that process. (Teacher: ~~needed~~Luke Faraone. TA: Tyler, and all other staffers.) * 2 - 6 PM: Project time! (see below) * 6 PM: (~~Maybe~~if people stay this long) Dinner provided Location: Shaffer Hall, room 101 == Volunteer roles == In this section, you'll find a brief description of all the different available volunteer roles. ~~Everywhere you see a "?", it means we need more volunteers. (-:~~ '''Teacher''': In this role, you work with the curriculum goals of one of the teaching sessions (Command Line Basic, Command Line Advanced) and then make a plan (lecture, slides, exercises) to achieve them. * For command line skills workshop (basic): ? * For command line skills workshop (advanced): ? * For history and ethics of open source: Asheesh '''Teaching assistant''': During each of the teaching sessions, we'll need people to roam around the room and answer questions people have. That applies both to the lecture time and any exercise time. Staffers are most-needed during exercise time. (I think this part is lots of fun! You also get to see how hard everything is that you think is easy.) '''Project representative''': During project time, you will represent your open source community and help students find appropriate tasks. This ''requires'' pre-planning and finding good tasks for people to work on within your project. You also ''should'' make sure you know what skills are required for helpers for your project. * Sign up here: ? '''Project helper''': During project time, students are going to get stuck on things. Your job is to work with them and "un-stick" them. * Sign up here: ? == Sponsors == Line 96 ⟶ 81: Detailed planning takes place on the [[/Staff\|Staff]] page.
