Panel Discussion: Education and Open Source
summary
Faculty describe concrete classroom outcomes: students contribute to App Inventor and Habitica and build Minecraft plugins, institutions run semester‑long open source projects that become internships, and a multi‑campus Libre Food Pantry codebase wins additional NSF funding. Examples include adoption of inner‑source in banks, a shared Covet Green COVID contact‑tracing codebase with global contributors, and curricula that teach git, command line, and PR etiquette so students ship real fixes and get hired.
