This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
In this course, you will learn the basic skills needed to contribute to an open source project. You don't have to be a programmer.
You'll learn:
* the basics of the command line
* how open source communities communicate and share code
* the history of the free and open source software movement
and then we'll provide group support and guidance as you get started contributing to a real project of your choice!
This event is organized by OpenHatch, a community project that is making open code communities easier to join.
Hi everyone!,
For the first week, I want people to just say "Hello" to each other on the activity wall. I'd love if you would also say what you are hoping to get out of the course, and if you have any thoughts on projects you'd like to contribute to, and what you think about the curriculum.
You can find that here: http://p2pu.org/en/groups/get-involved-in-open-source/
I'll start!
