# Rcos Open Source Development

## CSCI-4700

The mission of the Rensselaer Center for Open Source (RCOS) is to cultivate an inclusive, creative, and entrepreneurial community that seeks to empower students to develop open-source solutions to real-world problems. RCOS is a project-based course in which students join a project team and work primarily on one open-source project throughout the semester. Projects must be open source but can be existing external projects, internal (RCOS) projects, or new endeavors. Collaborative and cross-disciplinary projects are encouraged. Students are required to consistently contribute to their open source projects, in particular through multiple commits (commit early, commit often), presenting their work and/or specific technical talks, mentoring other projects, and generally contributing to the open source community.
