Allegheny Activism And Fedora

During the Spring 2010 semester, 40 first-year students from Allegheny College dove into the Fedora project. Specifically, with the help of the excellent people on the Marketing and Design teams, they engaged in their first experience as open source contributors, learning about blogging, wikis, IRC, and how to create positive change as part of a worldwide community.

Their weblogs can be found at act.ivism.org, and they have a feed of all of their posts generated by rawdog.
