we can encourage students to contact them and make to contribute with
their guidance.
Open source and free software derives its value from pedagogy, at
least that is my take on them. But then the learning curve on
linux-distros are quite steep and fortunately distros like Ubuntu and
programming environments like python are making it little bit easier.
Still for those who want to know the _machine_ better nothing like
having a Turbo-C / DOS environment ;)
Let me try to provide some of the projects I am working on. All of
them programmed in python, tested and released for linux (more
specifically ubuntu), under GPLv3 license, and the context of
development is Web-Technology.
Eazytext : A wiki processor. It defines a wiki markup similar to the
popular ones, with pluggable macros and extensions. Web is all about
content and wiki is the easiest way to generate rich content.

Tayra : A web templating lanugage. Incorporates the best of HAML (in
ruby) and Mako (in python), it helps developers to develop, package
and distribute their templates as plugins. It also embodies some
interesting ideas related to web templating.

Tayra Styles : CSS scripting language similar to SCSS (or SASS). Goes
hand in hand with Tayra's pluggable templates. Yet to be released.
For students and programmers who want to learn parsing techniques, AST
transformations, stack machines etc. eazytext, tayra and tayra-styles
can be nice introductions.
Cheers,
