Students like you around the world are gaining valuable experience, connections, and skills by coding, testing, and writing for free software projects like Firefox, WordPress, Wikipedia's backendcode, and SAGE.
You do not need to know how to program to contribute to free software. You can contribute code, but also original art, testing, documentation, web design, and much more. All levels of skill and experience are welcome.
The time has finally arrived.
Clear your calendar - It's going down! Open Sources Comes to Campus on Saturday, October 18th and you're invited to take part in the festivities. Room 108 in Academic West is our meeting spot for a day of learning and development. Come one, come all, and bring a guest!
