====== Facebook Open Academy ====== {{ :foa.png?200|}}New for the spring 2014 semester at Purdue: Computer Science juniors and seniors can enroll in a course to participate in the Facebook Open Academy. Join students from 21 other universities to learn about the world of open source software development. You choose from a set of open source projects (see below), are paired with a professional software mentor, and dig in to making a contribution. The course includes an intensive long weekend in California to work face-to-face with your teammates and mentor. Here is a [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/jdzsubibnlh1yfe/jtk-flier.pdf|flier]] about the course and some recent [[http://venturebeat.com/2013/11/13/facebook-partners-with-22-universities-to-give-compsci-students-academic-credit-for-open-source-projects|publicity]].
