how to contribute to existing open source research projects #70

Open albz opened 5 years ago

albz commented 5 years ago

I think it would be nice to have a little module on open-source codes. R, but also python and julia as possible languages. The idea is to develop a little module with opensource codes so to contribute. The final goal, but that sounds a bit hard work is to contribute to one of these open source projects.

This idea is similar to what has been proposed by @jcolomb but maybe at a much lower level. I would be happy to contribute to an idea as the one proposed by JC but it sounds for an expert audience. I believe as an introductory course it should be nice to show people how to actively contribute to an existing project.

Please let me know your suggestions.

Thinking out loud here, @albz, do you have a presentation on this already? If so, would you like to give it as part a webinar for the MOOC? They handle all the software internally, so all you would have to do is present.
