------------------------------------------------------- Final Call for Participation in SoftHum Workshop Involving Students in Development of Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 13, 2009

An NSF Supported Workshop June 11-12, 2009 Drexel University, Philadelphia PA http://edudev.hfoss.org/index.php/SoftHumWorkshop Due to NSF funding, we may only fund instructors at academic institutions based in the United States.

This workshop focuses on the course-level support required to immerse students in the development of a Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) project. The goal of this workshop is to prepare faculty members to teach courses in which students participate in HFOSS software development projects. A second goal is to help instructors meet other instructors who are interested in working together on HFOSS education. The workshop will focus on OSS and HFOSS background and issues, suitable software development processes and infrastructure for involving students in HFOSS development projects.

To apply for a place in the workshop, please submit a one-page paper that provides a brief introduction of yourself, describes your use of and involvement in OSS, if any (prior work in this area is not required), and explains why you are interested in attending the workshop. Submit to: Heidi.ellis@trincoll.edu by March 13, 2009. We will notify you of the status of your application by March 31, 2009.

Support NSF funding will provide some support for participant expenses. This support will provide 2 nights lodging and meals during the workshop. Travel costs will also be covered within the budget limits. At least $550 will be available for each participant, with additional funds provided to the extent possible.
