We are happy to announce that UW will be participating in the Facebook Open Academy (a.k.a. Hacking For Credit) in Winter/Spring 2014. This class presents a unique opportunity for students interested in a job in industry to gain experience. Facebook has hand-picked important open source projects to which students will contribute, and it has chosen select Facebook engineers who will act as mentors to guide the students through the open source development process. We expect that students will learn a lot in this class and thus encourage any interested students to sign up. In particular, prior experience contributing to open source software is NOT required.
