HFOSS is a pre-requisite for another class that is also running this
spring, IGME 585 Project in Free and Open Source Software Development. As with HFOSS,
there's a possibility of enrolling with permission of the instructor if one lacks the
pre-reqs. In this case, please contact Prof. Stephen Jacobs, sj(a)magic.rit.edu.
For IGME-585 Project in FOSS Development, I'm between two project ideas
and wanted to put out an offer for collaboration on them, if anyone else
is interested in these.
=== 1. Deploying Minecraft servers in Kubernetes ===
* Purpose: To create deployable Minecraft containers using SpigotMC¹ and
scaling a server network up or down based on server load and
performance
* Technologies used: Kubernetes², Amazon Web Services³ (AWS), Java,
Linux
* Notes: A member of the open source team at Amazon⁴ volunteered to
support / guide this project. He has background in Minecraft as a
teaching tool and wants to help conceptualize Kubernetes concepts with
Minecraft. He offered unlimited AWS credits in support of this
project.

=== 2. Music data explorations with ListenBrainz⁵ ===
* Purpose: To generate more statistics about music listening habits from
large amount of music listening data and present visualizations to
users in ListenBrainz web interface
* Technologies used⁶: Python, Google BigQuery, SQL, Docker, JavaScript,
HTML/CSS
* Notes: Working directly with upstream project to build these metrics
into ListenBrainz. Ultimate goal is to publish the music data under
open licenses to promote its use for science and research. The
community is awesome too with lots of helpful mentors and
contributors.
I haven't picked which one of these two I'd like to explore further, but
I'd be more interested in working with someone for a semester. Let me
know if either of these are interesting to you.
