[TOS] capstone project on Amara

[Hislop,Gregory]

Hi Gianluca,

I'm not aware of any faculty who have worked with Amara.  To clarify, the list on foss2serve.org is a place to keep track of any HFOSS project we have found.  There are quite a few on there that we have not had time to evaluate.

Cheers,

Greg Hislop

Hi Gianluca,

I don't know how current the activity is on Amara and I haven't worked on that project myself. I can tell you that right now I'm working on Mozilla Accessibility, specifically on the Dev Tools.

I'd be happy to add you to the folder where I'm collecting information on how to get started.

Hello everyone!
I am an Assistant Professor in Software Engineering in Italy, and I was at POSSE in Bologna in July, learning with other enthusiast people how to teach OS at University!
Short afterwards, I have advertised my availability as a mentor for capstone projects at my University (B.Sc.in<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2FB.Sc.in&data=02%7C01%7Chislopg%40drexel.edu%7C87ea2746c31b493788bd08d50929f4a3%7C3664e6fa47bd45a696708c4f080f8ca6%7C0%7C0%7C636424998173817060&sdata=U6YbxbdR%2FehtOve2xtO%2BgJHPI0BCv3BDDUUY%2BfkY4hc%3D&reserved=0> Computer Science), and now I have been contacted by a student willing to work on project Amara, which is listed on:
http://foss2serve.org/index.php/HFOSS_Projects<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffoss2serve.org%2Findex.php%2FHFOSS_Projects&data=02%7C01%7Chislopg%40drexel.edu%7C87ea2746c31b493788bd08d50929f4a3%7C3664e6fa47bd45a696708c4f080f8ca6%7C0%7C0%7C636424998173817060&sdata=JZobXc2FcJSgcyw972hz300YFxWRB6nTiH6s4NuX0p0%3D&reserved=0>

I have looked at the project sites (web and github) to start figuring out if it is suitable for the purpose, but I am not sure about how much it is active and welcomes contributions.

Does anyone have knowledge on this particular project and its community? Any advice would be greatly welcome since this is my firs experience as a OS teacher!
thanks,
Gianluca
