POSSE alumni

From Teaching Open Source

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a first attempt to keep track of the impact POSSE is having on its alumni professors. Think of them as... baseball cards. On professors who are teaching open source.

Fardad Soleimanloo Seneca POSSE 2009 Fall: 80, Spring: 41 Fall: 80, Spring: 41 Depends on how you count - strictest count is 0 and 0, but could also be 80 and 41. Anywhere from 0-100% depending on how we count. Fardad teaches the intro C++ course, which is explicitly structured as a pre-FOSS course - students are not contributing to upstream communities, but are working on and with the tools and systems in a microsm while they start learning programming, are on IRC, etc. with the explicit intention of this preparing them for the FOSS community participation classes taught by David and Chris.
