The TeachingOpenSource community provides a neutral point for collaboration for anyone with an interest in open source education. The next generation of software developers, computer scientists, system administrators, analysts, and build engineers need to understand open source and must be able to work efficiently within open source communities, and this community is on the forefront of this effort to modernize computer science education. This site, and the TOS (TeachingOpenSource) community behind it, is dedicated to bridging the gap between traditional computing curricula and student work in open source communities. This is a community where professors, institutions, communities, and companies can come together and make the teaching of open source a global success.
