Abstract

Free and open source software (FOSS) have become a popular framework for introducing students to professional software development. Despite a great variety of advantages, there is a significant number of barriers to a broader adoption of FOSS projects in computing education. We present a number of techniques forming a scaffolded agile approach to externally-sourced software engineering projects that help address some of the barriers to FOSS adoption.
