Here is the course web site.

Brainstorming -- class project
I've decided that working on an "open source" project and creating documentation for a piece of software is the way to go. Not only can we contribute our documentation to a team when we are done with the course, but we can put on our resumes that wrote documentation and it's out there for the world to see; it's a publication!
A great place to look for open source software is:
http://sourceforge.net/
Updates I'm writing this on Wednesday evening (Jan 9) 2 days later (I've been researching)
I have three ideas for this project. To ensure that everyone has access to the software, my requirement when searching was that the software was open and free. Open is hard concept to define here so I defer to wikipedia or opensource.org. I also don't want to pay for it, but legally. I also wanted to brainstorm about software that everyone would be familiar with and that they've seen before. The categories of software I state in this modest list should be familiar with everyone in our class -- so the basic concepts of how to use this won't be too difficult to grasp.
2. Blogging software
I don't have any other ideas other than Wordpress. It's an open project, not owned by a company and anyone can use it.
3. Picture management software
We could document Picasa, but it's owned by Google. I don't know if we would be able to publish our documentation when we finish this course.

Innovative minds don't think alike ...

Wishing all my friends a healthy and joyous New Year in 2008! I can't wait to see everyone in a few days. Let's kick ass!
