The document discusses Beaversource, an open source project at Oregon State University that combines social networking features and project management tools to help college students learn open source software development skills. It provides a sandbox environment where students can collaborate on projects and learn skills like code reviewing through projects hosted on the platform. The platform uses the Elgg social networking framework and Trac project management tools to allow students to find collaborators, browse code, and manage bugs and wikis for projects. It aims to lower barriers for students to contribute to open source projects through mentoring and a supportive community environment.
