Here are three new projects that began at Bowdoin College in January 2012.  They are all designed to fit well within a 1-semester course using our textbook Software Development: an Open Source Approach. 

• A new version of Homebase will be developed for the Ronald McDonald House in Portland, Maine by undergraduate computer science students.  To download a detailed description of this project, see http://code.google.com/p/rmh-homebase/downloads.
• New software called Homecheck will be developed for the People Plus non-profit community center in Brunswick, Maine by undergraduate computer science students.  To download a detailed description of this project, see http://code.google.com/p/pp-homecheck/downloads.
• New software called Homeplate will be developed for the Second Helpings non-profit food delivery organization in Hilton Head, South Carolina by undergraduate computer science students.  To download a detailed description of this project, see http://code.google.com/p/sh-homeplate/downloads.

The syllabus for this course can be found at https://blackboard.bowdoin.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab_tab_group....

Instructors are encouraged to review these projects as candidates for software projects that their own students can complete during a 1-semester course.
