As more organizations start leveraging open source software to foster innovation and efficiencies, employers need talent well-versed in the dedicated policies and programs required to ensure that the investments in open source projects produce the desired benefits while still aligning with the values of the open source communities.
The micro-course starts on May 17, 2021. Registration is open through May 10, 2021. The cost is $499 per micro-course.
Participants can anticipate a total of 5-7 hours per week. One hour of that estimate is the weekly lecture, which is virtual. Participants then will work within their teams on the course-long project. The time will vary by group, but participants can expect to spend at least one hour per week working on it.
