Great Choice! Iāve used it in my Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software class this semester, did a section or two a week for the first few weeks. My students do three Comm Arch evaluations and Iām having them try to pick one Stadium, Federation and Club project. You can check their first and second ones (third one starts next week) at https://hfoss2021.cad.rit.edu/wordpress/category/community-architecture/
Please send an invite my way.

RE your studentsā project - thatās great!!! I was thinking about doing an analysis of our (OpenJS) projects using Nadiaās framework, and it looks like your students have taken that rubric a lot further. Iād love to hear more!
Iād like an invite too. 
HI Jory! Weāve been teaching one variation or another of this course for going on 12 years now. THe Comm Arch assignment was first created by Professor Dave Shein, modified by Professor D. Joe Anderson and this is my current version. Nadiaās nomenclature and groupings were just added for this time around.
This is a radical revision of the course so nothingās in a repo or anything until Iāve had a chance to asses how well the revision has worked
That said, hereās a public version of the sillybus that has links that should work to some of the major assignments, including the Comm Arch one.
Also of note, guest lecturers Flory, Nolan, Kottler and Ogboru are all alums of RIT, and this course. Everyone but Ogboru graduated with our minor in Free and Open Source Software and Free Culture (she dates back to before we had one) Guest lecturer Decausemaker worked with me to help create and run some of my programs in the early days and, after he got his MS, taught it for a while.
The minorās due for a revision in the next 12 months or so. Weāll likely swap the Project course and Biz and Legal in the required courses, get rid of the āChoice of Oneā required course, move them down into electives and refresh the electives list. Thereās been a bunch of new courses created in other departments over the years that would be a good fit. The electives are generally wither courses that look at subjects tangential to FOSS or are required courses in other majors that use FOSS tools
Hi everyone! I finally decided to read the book thanks to this post Just finished it, so I can also join! serkanholat@hotmail.com
