summary

Describes a university course at IME‑USP that trains students to contribute to the GNU/Linux ecosystem, focusing concretely on Linux kernel patch submission and Debian packaging using Git and distributed workflows. Explains a curriculum that moves from free‑software license and community norms to scaffolded workshops (kernel workflow tutorials, Debian packaging labs), partnerships with community maintainers, and techniques for tracking non‑code outcomes like student diaries.
