Reasons for students to contribute to Open Source
04-Oct-2010
I just wanted to echo Shalin's arguments to contribute to Open Source.
In brief, Shalin supports having the chance to work on what one really likes,
how beneficial this is for learning tools to face "real world" software
problems (non-existent in academic problems),
the experience gained from working with some of the best coders,
and the attractiveness to companies that this profile yields.
His original post can be found
here.
I do encourage students to enrol in open source projects for their
Bachelor and Master's Thesis Projects.
In the end, it is most probable that they get to use some open
source tools to supply particular parts, and concentrate on their academic
interests. So, why not contribute?
