Seokchan Yun*, Youngchul Byun** (Daum Communications Corp, Korea*, Jeju National University, Korea**)
2011 5th International Workshop on Practical Engineering Education
Agenda
• Why Open Source? – Daum’s needs for OSS education – Benefits of OSS education – Encouragement program for students
• Open Source Class in Universities – Open Source@Seneca – Open Source Coursework in JNU – Results
• Conclusion
I. Why Open Souce?
Daum’s Technical Platform
• GLAMJI – Operation: Linux (Redhat)+Apache + MySQL – Development: Java (Tomcat, Struts, Spring) – Environment: IDE (Eclipse, SubVersion)
• Daum Forge
– Project management using Wiki, Jira and Trac – Using project tools in open source softwares – Needs to understand OSS culture!
• Supporting OSS community
GLAMJI Platform
–GNU/Linux –Apache –MySQL –Java (Struts, Spring)
– IDE (Eclipse, Subversion, Jira)
Daum Forge • Source Repository
– Source Control: Apache + Subversion + LDAP – Bug Tracking: Jira – Documentation: Confluence Wiki
Why supporting OSS community?
• http://ftp.daum.net – OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 – Memory: 12GB – Storage: 4TB Raid Storage – Network: Gigabit Ethernet
• http://oss.daum.net – Community hosting server
• The key of Daum’s technical needs gathers students being familiar with Open Source Software. – Supporting local college curriculum
Benefits for students
• Intellectually stimulating : 44.9% • Personal Skill-up : 41.3% • Supporting to be public source code : 33.1% • Non-work functionality : 29.7% • Work functionality : 33.8% • Pleasure on community : 20.3% • Improving career : 17.5% • Reputation : 11.0% • Hating commerce software : 11.1%

Why is important to students?
• Problems – Despite of decreasing CS students, there is no chances to join
real world software development. – Hard to recognize enterprise needs and global trends.
• Reason – The period for intelligent stimulation ▶ Creative works – Joining real-world software development. – Learning chance to contribute for the society. – Understanding community-driven software projects. – Meet-up software mentors in community – Going to the good software companies
Existing Activities • Extending OSS users
– Supporting to install Open source software and teaching OSS to student and let them use OSS
– Projects • FSF: http://www.gnu.org/education/ • KDE: http://edu.kde.org/ • Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntufund.org/ • OpenOffice: http://education.openoffice.org/
• Connecting OSS community – Google Summer of Code and Google Highly Open
Participation Contest, NCSoft Winter of Code
• Educational Curriculums – OpenSource@Seneca, Mozilla Education Project, JNU’s Daum
Track
Finish elementary students to use Linux
Mongolian students to use OLPC
Google Summer of Code
• What’s SoC? – Google Summer of Code is a program designed to encourage college student
participation in open source development with global scale communities
• Benefits – Students gain: skills, real world experience, sample code, and contacts. – Organizations gain: new contributions, contributors, and global exposure.

Google SoC: Mentor Summit
Google code-in (aka, Google Highly Open Participation Contest)
• For K12 students • The contest was a great success with 361 students (ages
13-18) from 48 countries completing a total of 2,167 tasks during the 7 week contest period.

II. OSS Class in Universities
Existing Activities • Offering education materials by Google

• There is almost no educational programs for open source software.
OpenSource@Seneca • Introduction
– The first open source class engaged with OSS communities by Seneca College in Canada
• How to
– Opening Classes from 2006 • DPS909: Topics in Open Source Development • DPS911: Open Source Project
– http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
– Joining OSS developers as a lecturers • Mozilla, Fedora, OpenOffice etc.
– Encouragement to join communities directly
• http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Project_List
OpenSource@Seneca
The first Open Source Class in Korea (2007)
Search “Open Source Class” in Google!
Coursework
• Introduction and history of Open Source Software
• Developers tools – SVN(Mercurial), Bugzilla, L10n and documentation
• Community-driven process – Build, QA and release
• Lab project : connect to directly OSS projects – Choice: Source-contribution, l10n and marketing etc. – Requirement: at least one more participation in
existing OSS projects
How many join OSS project?
• 2007 (35 students) – Localization in Sourceforge.net – Some guys became l10n owner of specific project
• 2008 (28 students)
– Joining local OSS project : TextCube and XE Project
• 2009 (33 students) – Joining local OSS project : Daum Open Editor
• 2010 (44 students)
– Joining global OSS project: Mozilla Support
• 2011 (26 students) – Joinng global and local OSS projects – Debian, OpenOffice, Mozilla, Ubuntu and XE

One suggestion! • Make “UNIQUE” class for “OPEN SOURCE
SOFTWARES” to join community compared with “SOFTWARE ENGINEERING”! – Linux or Web programming class is NOT focused
on real open source software.
• Encourage community participation not only to make source code! – All students don’t love to make source code.
Conclusion : The future of OSS class for enterprise
• Extending OSS Eco-system – Training long-term SW engineers – Human resources for OSS based SW companies – Vitalization value-added software based on OSS
• Just Education – Extending Open Source Courseware
• MIT: http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html • OCWC: http://ocwconsortium.org/
– Not only knowledge but also Sharing (Real engineering education)
