Re: Open Source class... starting tomorrow
Hi Daniel, When I taught a first year undergraduate course on FOSS the major syllabus topics were: - Community - Communications - Governance - Issue Tracking - Sustainability - Version Control - Intellectual Property Each student built a case study on a project they were interested in week by week published on Wordpress; e.g. https://pete1124.wordpress.com/ https://thejibrjabr.wordpress.com/ … etc I was planning to put the content for the course on Github, but the Moodle XML export format doesn’t exactly make it very easy… if its of interest I’d be happy to share more! > On 20 Jan 2017, at 22:16, Daniel Ruggeri wrote: > > Hi, Phil; > That makes sense and I will update the syllabus to reflect the proper > terminology.

Exploratory discussion - Apache Arts Project
My sense is that there are a lot of Apache contributors with an Arts orientation. I've put put a for a challenge for people to code this poem by Kipling: If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! Can you code it? Gavin

Personally, I would be very interested in following and maybe eventually contributing to this. The challenges with collaborating using Moodle export and/or other ed content specs is an interesting problem that it would be great to solve. Have you ever done this before?

I really like your tips here [1], Scott - good to keep in mind when thinking about "delivering" this kind of class. Thanks!

Hello
Hello, I sent an email yesterday regarding swag for Meetups, etc to this list, thinking that it was an Apache list that was devoted specifically to that type of thing (i was just going off of a comment automatically sent to me from the last quarter's board report review).. I've noticed several Emails, and realized that I was wrong about this just being a place to ask for swag from. So I just wanted to Introduce myself and say hello. I'm the PMC chair of Apache Mahout. The Mahout team is a die hard group of all volunteer committers, devoted to distributed shared nothing machine learning, centered currently around an abstract Engine neutral set of Distributed Linear Algebra primitives. We're working currently on a release with GPU and native multithreaded backed matrix operations, as well as to provide more caned algorithms. We have no corporate backing, which makes it challenging at times to keep up; most of us work after our day-jobs. This also makes us flexible and able to answer to no one but our own PMC when deciding the best direction for the project to go. So I just wanted to Introduce myself, and give you an overview of our team. The email that I sent yesterday came off more as an order for Apache swag.. So, Hello, and have a good weekend, all, Andy
Re: Hello
Hi Andy, I am using Mahout for NLP specifically for semantic searching in Indian languages as part of my PhD work...it will be my pleasure to contribute for mahout and also take part in the discussion...with a huge data in hdfs mahout has the capability to help us for decision making...You may share the link of mahout specific forum/blog also (if required)..I will be obliged to conribute.
