    5. be careful if allowing students to freely choose projects (camm, 13:08:45)

  5. Understanding Open Source Communities (darci, 14:02:37)
    1. students are not happy being productively lost (or being told that they are going to be productively lost) (lorip, 14:17:17)
    2. make sure students understand that their being "productively lost" won't negatively affect their respective grades (semioticrobotic, 14:18:41)
    3. get lost with students early to get familiar with the process (stoney, 14:18:50)
    4. let students see their instructor get productively lost (semioticrobotic, 14:19:35)
    5. make sure you give back - there are many ways you can do this - documentation, reviews, testing, answering questions (lorip, 14:21:23)
    6. look for a community that has a code of conduct and a community director (lorip, 14:45:32)
    7. the work isn't finished until it's been properly (gracefully) handed off (semioticrobotic, 14:46:26)
