> 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.
