[Campus-bucknell-staff] curriculum for Saturday

[Li Li]

Hi Shauna,


Thank you for your email! So far we have two professors and an individual
developer living in Lewisburg willing to come to the event. Since the
targeted audience are mostly first-year and second-year students, we think
it will be better for us to guide them through some workshops together
instead of having self-guided materials. I read through the self-guided
materials and found most of them helpful for lectures too! Below is our
tentative schedule:


9:00 - 9:30 Main organizers arrive at the space

9:30 - 10:00   Coffee & pastries appear, students begin arriving

10:00 - 10:30 Laptop setup & introductions (we can talk about what is open
source here)

10:30 - 11:30 Open source communications tools (IRC, mailing lists, issue
trackers, version control)

11:30 - 12:30 Practicing git (will be run by a professor and facilitators)

12:30 - 1:00 Career panel

1:00 - 2:00 Lunch

2:00 - 2:30 History & Ethics of Free Software (will be run by a professor)
2:30 - 5:00 Projects time, with wrap-up at 4:45

I still have some questions regarding the career panel and the projects
time. Do you know who will be coming to the remote career panel? I
remembered that we were inviting some developers from Mozilla and Erie
Meyer, but I'm not sure if they have confirmed already.

Also I read through the project lists that open-hatch provides. I really
like most of the projects and found them very interesting, but I don't
think they are easy enough to understand by people who do not have a lot of
background in CS. My plan is to make an easy project (like some HTML pages
with some JavaScript) on Launch's Github page and have people clone it and
make contributions. I remembered seeing a simple HTML sample project on
Open Hatch but I couldn't find them anymore. If you know which project it
was, could you please send me the link to that project again?

I will let you know if we have more questions.

Thank you!
Li
