A new group of Seneca students is jumping into Open Source development! We've just selected (Mozilla-related) projects in the OSD600 course -- here's the list:

ProjectStudent (IRC nick)
Convert password storage to SQLiteRadovan Nesic (radoye)
Plugin throttle - cut back a plugin's execution speed when it is not visibleChris Andreacchi (Tryzo)
FUEL backport to Firefox 2Samer Ziadeh (samer)
Improved temporary file managementSidney Russell
Thunderbird picture preview/slideshowJoseph Cresencia (FirestormZERO)
Universal Firefox on a USB key - Windows/Linux/MacPeter Evanoff (peterevanoff)
Peter Chan (PeterC)

Over the next 10 weeks, these students will be taking these projects to a "0.3" (usable, maybe not perfectly polished) release. At the same time, David Humphrey is leading another group of OSD700/DPS911 students in taking their existing projects from 0.3 to 1.0 release.

If you're interested in following along on the progress of these projects, I invite you to read our opensource@seneca blog planet and the related wiki or stop by irc://irc.mozilla.org/%24seneca
