The  Role  of  Open  Source    Soiware  in  Research  &  Educa0on  

Educa;on  •  The  (only)  examples  of  industry-­‐

strength  code  •  Open  source  communi0es  include  

professional  and  experienced  programmers  

•  Github  projects  become  an  important  part  of  resume  

•  Coding  is  part  of  job  interview:  Google,  Microsoi,  Facebook,  LinkedIn,  TwiVer,  Amazon,  Zynga,  Dropbox,  …  

•  Why  does  someone  graduated  with  a  Ph.D.  in  CS  has  to  prove  coding  skills?  

Research  •  Essen0al  for  computer  

systems  research  –  Enabler  of  scien0fic  results  –  Enabler  of  reproducibility  of  

scien0fic  results  •  Essen0al  for  much  of  

Computer  Science  research  •  Essen0al  for  much  of  research  

in  BSOE  Departments  •  We  produce  students  and  

papers  •  What  about  all  those  soiware  

prototypes?

Successful  OSS  projects  •  AVract  new  talent  

– Help  UCSC  in  recrui0ng  very  talented  students  – University  student  career  as  a  path  to  OSS  leadership  

•  Used  as  research  &  educa0on  plarorm  –  Leverage  past  systems  research  and  make  results  reproducible  

– Useful  and  usable  as  a  tool  for  systems  educa0on  •  Create  OSS  leaders  who  know  how  to  get  systems  built  –  Know  where  to  find  the  right  tools  &  technologies  – Much  more  leveraged  in  their  value  to  industry!

Educa0on:    •  Goal:  educate  &  train  the  next  genera0on  of  OSS  leadership  •  How  to  get  involved:  Incorporate  OSS  in  your  class!  •  Planned  courses  to  integrate  OSS  tool  chains    &  prac0ces  

–  Fall  2015:  •  CMPS  115:  Introduc0on  to  Soiware  Engineering  (Linda  Werner)  

–  Winter  2016:  •  CMPS  116:  Soiware  Design  Project  (Linda  Werner)  

–  Spring  2016:    •  CMPS  105:  Linux  kernel  programming  (syllabus  won  2015  Chancellor’s  Teaching  Fellowship)

•  Guest  lectures  &  workshops,  e.g.:    –  Ally  skills  (in  collabora0on  with  founders  of  the  Ada  Ini0a0ve)  –  Open  source  licensing  –  Maintaining  OSS  communi0es  

•  Prac00oner-­‐in-­‐residence  program  –  Combines  academic  program  with  appren0ceship  

119  

Research  •  Goal:  Leverage  OSS  culture  in  UCSC  research  •  How  to  get  involved:  Propose  a  research  project!  

–  Ph.D.-­‐level,  2-­‐4  years  0me  horizon,  precompe00ve  –  Project  selec0on  is  twice  a  year  

•  Pair  industry  mentors  with  students  and  faculty  –  Provide  infrastructure  for  regular  mentor  mee0ngs  

•  Support  open-­‐sourcing  research  prototypes  (incl.  what  license  to  use)  

•  Support  publishing  open  source  soiware  •  Fund  a  selec0on  of  projects  and  leverage  outside  funding  

–  Projects  can  come  from  a  variety  of  sources  –  Projects  can  take  different  paths
