Abstract

humanitarian free and open source software team projects
Curriculum guidelines for both Computer Science and Software Engineering emphasize the need for student experience working on a sizeable, real-world project. This poster presents student experience in a Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) project that is jointly maintained by the GNOME Accessibility Team and three academic institutions. In this environment, students enjoy apprenticeship learning and learn directly from professionals within an active project. Results from a survey on student self-reported software engineering learning, attitude towards computing, and career plans are presented.
