Here is one idea that I discussed with our advisor, Prof. Steve
Goddard. It may help bridge the link you have mentioned. I'm still
brain storming a detail, but nothing it stopping the idea from going
forward in it's present form.
The idea is: HLUG has another section added to the website -
probably in the projects area. A list of open source projects of
various skill levels and subject areas (compiler, graphics, ai,
crypto skills) that the programmer would like to use in the project.
The main delimiter to choose which projects to list on the page,
since there are so many good ones out there, is to only list ones
that Nebraska/UNL/Lincoln programmers are in so that way you can
relate to some of the people that are in the project, and to be more
open. It may also let people be more at ease if they feel their
developing skills aren't 133t (heh, my script kiddie-eze is kind of
rusty).
To help expose people to this, Steve and I thought it would be ok to
present to the various classes in the comp sci (and maybe elsewhere
on campus if wanted) about the projects they could get in.
The one problem I'm still brain storming on is how to integrate it
into the class without adding any extra work for the instructor. The
above could be done as is, it just wouldn't count any toward the
class.
Thoughts? Words of wisdom? Think we should go ahead with it?
