Line 40:
* New Slide:
** Text: "Websites & Social Media"
** Presenter notes: "Most projects have a website and social media account which allows them to share the basic goals of the project. It also usually includes information about further communication tools. I'm going to find this information for Mozilla Science Lab." Find: website, blog, twitter. "Following a social media account can be a good way to start learning about a project. There's no commitment, just a way to follow what they're doing over time." Follow Mozilla Science Lab's twitter. :) Ask students to do the same for their project.
* New Slide:
** Text: "Mailing Lists & Forums" (This is actually likely to be multiple slides, with screenshots/details from the presenter notes)
Note to writer: cover benefits of mailing list, benefits of forum, discourse (list/forum option), incorporate joining (and unsubscribing) from a list if you want, cover different types of list, looking at archives, etc.
** Presenter notes:
*** Cover the following: How does a mailing list work? What are the benefits and drawbacks? What are the different kinds of mailing lists (user v developer, for instance). How does it compare to a forum? What about a mailing list-forum hybrid?
*** Join a Mozilla Science Lab mailing list, join the Mozilla Science lab discourse instance. Ask students to do the same for their project.
* New Slide:
** Text: reuse [http://openhatch.github.io/open-source-comes-to-campus/lessons/comm-tools/#/7 these slides] (press down to view)
** Presenter notes: Students should download an IRC client if they haven't already during the laptop setup. Join Mozilla Science Lab and have students do so as well, demonstrating the features covered in the slides. Ask students if their projects have IRC channels, and if they do, ask them to join the channels.
* New Slide:
** Text: "Issue Trackers" (reuse [http://openhatch.github.io/open-source-comes-to-campus/lessons/comm-tools/#/11 these slides])
** Presenter notes:
*** Issue trackers are like a to do list.
*** Important fields: status, assigned, date updated, "bitesize/easy/first task"
*** Read an issue from the Mozilla tracker together. Ask students how they'd try to address it. Emphasize that most issues assume knowledge of the project, so it's important to reach out to the community and get help before tackling an issue.
*** Ask students to find an issue in the tracker that they have a question about. Ask them to write the question down so they can follow up on it later if they want to.
* New Slide:
** Text: "Version Control" (reuse [http://openhatch.github.io/open-source-comes-to-campus/lessons/what-is-version-control/self-guided.html#/ these slides])
** Presenter notes: Ask students about how they share their research currently. How do they collaborate on projects? How do they track changes? Use Wikipedia to demonstrate the concept of version control. You can use the open science wiki page as the example page. Then, find the Mozilla Science repositories and briefly walk through github's structure, organizations with repositories, etc. Ask students to create github accounts and fork the project.
* New slide:
** Text: "Review"
** Presenter notes: Have students go around and say how they've communicate with a project during the session. Ask if they've learned new ways to contribute to open science projects that can be put on the whiteboard.
