Abstract
This poster presents a summary of student opinion of the practical experiences that students gain via participating in a Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) project. The poster reports on a study of student participation in HFOSS that includes six institutions with a variety of profiles. Pre-course expectations of what students expect to learn from working on an HFOSS project are presented. These expectations are then compared to post-course observations about student involvement.
