=== Background ===
The template below contains sections which describe the items that should be included when creating a learning activity. To use this template:
# Create a new page with the word "Activity" in the name. Use a short, descriptive name.
# Copy the source for this template into your new page.
# Fill in the sections below according to the instructions.
# Categorize the page using tags at the bottom of the page.
#* Include <nowiki>[[Category:Learning Activity]]</nowiki>
#* Remove <nowiki>[[Category:Template]]</nowiki>, since this page is a template, but your new page is not.
#* Add at least one subcategory from the list in [[Learning Activities]], e.g. <nowiki>[[Category:Coding and Style]]</nowiki>
# Use the '''Discussion''' tab (upper left of the page) to leave feedback to the author(s) of the activity, such as usage or suggestions for enhancements.


Open source pre-dates the Web, but the Web and Internet connectivity have been essential for the blossoming of FOSS in recent years. FOSS projects need to be available on the Web to ever gain much attention. There are a growing number of sites (often called “forges”) that provide a home and visibility to FOSS projects (although many of the biggest projects live on their own sites).

==== Part 1 - GitHub ====
=== Background: ===
Is there background reading material?


One of the best known of these FOSS project hosting sites is GitHub. In this activity you will explore projects in GitHub to gain an understanding of the key characteristics of a FOSS project.
Are there other activities the student should have done first?


Do the following:
What is the rationale for this activity?
# Go to: https://github.com/
# Use the Search feature on the top right next to the Log In button to view applications in an area of interest to you (e.g., gaming, sports, music, computing, etc.).
# How many projects are there in this category?
# List the top four programming languages used to write programs in this category.
# Pick a project in your category by clicking on the repository. Answer the questions below:
## What does it do?
## What programming language is the project written in?
## Who is likely to use the project? How do you know this?
## When was the most recent change made to the project?
## How active is the project? How can you tell?
## How many committers does the project have?
## Would you use the project? Why or why not?
# Create a new search for Humanitarian. Locate HTBox and answer the questions below
## When was it last updated?
## How many forks has it had?
## Click on the project.  When was the last update?  Does this correspond with what you answered in #6.1?
## How many contributors does it have?
Keep this browser tab open while you move onto Part 2.


==== Part 2 - OpenHub ====
Include helpful hints to faculty here.


In this activity, you will use OpenHub to search for humanitarian projects.
=== Directions: ===
What should the student do?


'''Searching OpenHub:'''
=== Deliverables: ===
# Go to: https://www.openhub.net/
What will the student hand in?
# In the upper-most search space, enter: Humanitarian
# Notice that for many of the projects it says that the Activity is not Available while others are listed as Inactive or New Projects. Locate the GeoChat project.
## Where is the code for this project located?
# Return to the search results.  Humanitarian Toolbox (HTBox) does not appear as any of the initial projects.  Search for Humanitarian Toolbox.
## How many lines of code does the project have?
## How many contributors does it have?
## When was the most recent commit?
## Where is the code located?
# How does the information on this page compare to what you saw on GitHub?
 
=== Deliverables ===
 
POSSE: Please post the answers to these questions on your foss2serve user wiki page.
 
Students: Wiki posting describing your explorations of GitHub and OpenHub.
