Humanitarian projects and open source: Working together to revitalize computer
sciences
,----[ Quote ]
| Ralph Morelli, professor of computer science at Trinity College in Hartford,
| Conn., has a double motive in spearheading the Humanitarian FOSS Project
| (HFOSS). The project's mission of providing free software development to help
| solve real-world social issues is a noble reason to rally the participation
| of college students who will spend their summers learning how to be part of
| the open source development community. But this NSF-funded project also hopes
| to show that humanitarian software development projects are a great way to
| revitalize undergraduate computing education.
