From Teaching Open Source

One thing I haven't seen yet on any of the wiki pages is what POSSE is supposed to do - what do we (the various participants and stakeholders) hope to get out of it, what do we hope to accomplish during the week and afterwards? Some of this is starting to come out in individual introductions over the mailing list, but it may be helpful to actually agree on and write them down at some point. Mchua 13:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Code swarms

Code swarms like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP3JaOFy-qM and http://www.vimeo.com/1093745 may help set expectations on the "open source / community is not a magic wand" thing - it takes time to grow good, deep roots before a plant can go "weeeeeeeee!" and sprout up and have flowers.
