Week 1 (Sept 7) Course introduction

  • TODO
    • Complete readings and watching/listening to this weeks resources.
    • Create an account on this wiki for yourself
    • Create a personal wiki page on this wiki, and add a link for yourself to the People page as well as the Winter 2010 students page
    • Create a blog (wordpress or blogspot or whatever) and create a feed category or tag called "open source"
    • Read the Blog Guidelines for instructions on how to use your blog in the course
    • Add your blog feed and info to the Open Source@Seneca Planet List so that it appears in the OpenSource@Seneca Planet
    • Blog on your reactions to the readings for this week, and also introduce yourself.
    • Begin learning how to use IRC for communication. We'll cover this in detail next week, but it's better to get started early.
