A Beginner’s Guide to Open Source Software Development (LFD102)

It touches upon a wide diversity of topics relating to OSS, and addresses both hard skills and soft skills. I also learned a lot about various projects of the Linux Foundation I had not heard of before (CHAOSS, SPDX, Open Invention Initiative).

Very informative. Great detail, and easy to understand the overview of different kinds of licensing, licensing implications and compliance!

Up-to-date and good information regarding OSS applied to different companies and licensing, which is a topic often ignored. Plus, the OSS Office cleared out some gaps I had. In general, all the content was very illustrative.

This course gives an excellent summary of important concepts. I really enjoyed section 10. OSS Licensing and legal issues.

I got a fairly comprehensive idea about how an open source project is maintained, and how I can contribute. Another great thing that I like about this course is the emphasis on License, which I wouldn’t have looked into otherwise.

It was beginner-level, and now I have a mind map and route on how to implement the OSS approach to my own projects.

I particularly enjoyed the practical approach of this course. The hands-on projects and real-world examples really helped solidify the concepts we were learning. Additionally, the instructor's clear explanations made complex topics easier to understand. Overall, the combination of theory and practical application made the learning experience both enjoyable and valuable.

Very valuable, and a huge amount of information which was structured perfectly, and hence was easy to read through.

It is a great course for beginners. They can get a top-view of open-source, and choose whether open-source is suitable for them or not.

This course covered a lot of important concepts in a concise bite-sized manner. It not only gave beginners the foundations to OSS, it also pushed the learner even further. I feel like I have learned quite a lot in such a short amount of time!

I liked the ease of going back and forth through the material. The quizzes at the end of every section affirmed what I learned!

Simple and concise information to get into the world of OSS.

I had little knowledge of open source, and now I feel I can talk intelligently about it.

I liked the videos at the beginning of lessons, because it gave me some indication about what I'd be learning, that was better explained in the lesson.

The course structure, contents, depth of the topics, and visual material were up to the mark.
