Week 1 (Jan 12) Course introduction

  • TODO
    • Create an account on this wiki for yourself
    • Create a personal wiki page on this wiki
    • Add a link for yourself to the People page and the Winter 2009 Open Source 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.
    • Begin learning how to use IRC for communication. It is better to get started early such as your Eclipse workplace is set for programming.
    • After you install Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers (175 MB) you will have ECF (Eclipse Communication Framework) and IRC client. It is the best place for your IRC client; you can open an IRC client from the Communication Perspective.
      • Otherwise, after you install ECLIPSE WTP, you can include the ECF (Eclipse Communication Framework) so that your IRC client will be a communication perspective inside Eclipse WTP if you wish to have it there. Please read the instructions to add IRC client to your Eclipse WTP:
        • In Eclipse 3.4/Ganymede, choose Help -> Software Updates...
        • Click on Available Features tab; Click on Manage Sites... button.
        • Drag and drop the following URL from your browser to the list in the Manage Sites window: http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/2.1/3.4/updateSite/site.xml
        • Click OK in the Manage Sites window
