We are excited to be once again running POSSE: the Professors’ Open 
Source Software Experience workshop:

Where: Nassau Community College, Garden City, NY

This faculty workshop will help you 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 food 
pantries, sustainability, disaster management, or health care.

Workshop Format: This workshop has two stages:

·     Stage 1 - Starts April 25, 2022, with online activities. These 
activities will take 2-3 hours/week and be completed asynchronously.  In 
addition, you will meet synchronously with facilitators and participants.

·     Stage 2 – The 2 day face-to-face workshop held at Nassau Community 
College in Garden City, NY May 24-25.  Participants will include the 
workshop organizers and POSSE alumni.

Join the community of over 175 faculty members who have attended POSSE 
and are interested in their students doing social good by participating 
in HFOSS.
