"…my main mistake was a decade-long one. For all those years, I asked my students to find a project to contribute to. So they blindly did. They didn’t try to think about it. They went to #Github and started browsing projects.
For all those years, I involuntarily managed to teach my students that #OpenSource was a corner of the web, a Microsoft-managed repository of small software one can play with. Nothing serious.
This is all my fault."
