Blog Prompt 1

In class, we brainstormed skills and characteristics of good open source software developers. For the prompt below, you can choose items from the list we generated together (use zoom a lot to see - sorry) - or you can suggest something else.

In your first blog entry of the semester, address each of the following bullets (1 or more paragraph each):

• Do you have any prior experience with open source? If so, what is it? (It’s okay if you don’t have any at all!)
• What do you think is the strongest skill or characteristic that you can bring to your team this semester?
• What skill or characteristic would you most like to improve upon? What can you do this semester to help in that endeavor?

In order to receive credit for each blog entry, you must do both of the following:

• Post your entry to your blog.
• Additionally, copy and paste the text of your entry to Moodle. (This should only take a couple of minutes.)

The best blog entries will be honest, thoughtful, and critically reflective. Here are some blog examples of the differences between reporting, reflection, and critical reflection.

Please note that blog prompts are due by 8 am on their due dates –do not wait until the last minute!

This first entry is due by 8 am on Monday, August 26, 2019
