Dear TOS colleagues,
We have shifted the _location_ of the June 2016 POSSE from Salt Lake
City to Philadelphia, but the dates are still Jun 15-17. We have also
extended the application deadline until Fri April 15 in case some
people find that the new location is a better fit for them. See below
for details.

Professor's Open Source Software Experience (POSSE):
Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software June 15-17, 2016 Salt Lake
City, UT Additional Information:http://foss2serve.org

This faculty workshop will help you prepare to support student
participation in a Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS)
project.  HFOSS is open source software that has a humanitarian
purpose such as disaster management, health care, or economic
development.

Join us if you would like to:
* Learn how to support student learning within a real-world HFOSS
project environment
* Motivate students and raise their appreciation for computing for the
social good
* Meet and collaborate with other instructors who have similar
interests and goals
* Grow professionally

Workshop Format
Unlike many workshops in which the content is concentrated in the
face-to-face meeting, this workshop has three stages:

Stage 1 - Starts April 18, 2016 with online activities. These
activities will take 2-3 hours/week and include interaction among
workshop instructors and participants.

Stage 2 - The face-to-face workshop held in Salt Lake City June 15-17.
Participants will include the workshop organizers, POSSE alumni, and
open source community members.

Stage 3 - Starts immediately after stage 2 and consists of
interactions among small groups so that participants will have support
while involving students in an HFOSS project in the classroom.

How to Apply:
To apply, please complete and submit the application available at:
http://foss2serve.org/index.php/POSSE_2016-06.  Prior work with FOSS
projects is not required. Submit to: Clif Kussmaul at
clifkussmaul at gmail.com by April 4th, 2015. We will notify you of the
status of your application by April 11th, 2015.

Participant Support
POSSE is supported by the National Science Foundation and Red Hat, Inc.

NSF funding will provide 2 nights lodging and meals during the
workshop.  Travel costs will also be covered up to $500.
