如今开源已在IT业界起到越来越大的作用，然而，大部分的中国大学生依然对此知之甚少。而国内外的主要开源社区也很少专门涉及学生领域，一定程度上减轻了学生的参与兴趣。而另一方面，许多大学生空有热情却无处练手，导致实际开发能力与经验的不足，直接影响到了大学的计算机教育质量。
  OpenCampus是一个专门针对大学生开发的开源社区平台，它本身就是由大学生设计开发，力争更贴切中国大学生的现状与需求。OpenCampus具有主流开源平台（如sourceforge，cosoft）的绝大多数功能，同时添加代码段共享，课程设计管理等学生专有功能模块。通过OpenCampus，大学生在认识开源世界的同时，也会在开发过程中得到不少动手实践，团队合作的宝贵经验。志同道合之人也可以有更多的交流。
  我们也和学校取得沟通与共识，大力发展学校的开源普及工作，充分发动学生的自主创新能力，甚至在不久的将来会增加专门的有关开源平台的独立学分。
  因此，我们希望能够借助cosoft的力量让更多志同道合人士加入进来，一起优化设计，为中国的大学生开源普及工作出一份力。

  Nowadays open-source has played a greater role in the IT industry, but by most of the university students in China are still little known. Domestic open-source platform and the main student areas devoted to small communities, to a certain extent, reduce the student's interest to participate. Moreover, many students have nowhere to practice with warm hands, resulting in a lack of practical experience and the ability to develop, directly affecting the quality of computer education.
  OpenCampus is an open-source platform for the specific development of university students. This in itself is developed by students, and strive to be more appropriate to the situation and needs of university students in China. OpenCampus has the majority of functions of the mainstream open-source platform(eg sourceforge, cosoft), and the addition of code stack sharing, curriculum design management and other functional modules for students. Through OpenCampus, students at the same time recognizing the open-source world, and get involved in the development process as well which will bring them practice,team co-operation and some other valuable experience. Minded people can have more conmmunications too.
  We have also communicated with the school and consensus. We will vigorously develop the school's open-source popularization and workfully mobilize the student's capability of independent innovation. Even in the near future the independence credits based on OpenCampus will be devoted.
  Therefore, we hope to draw on the strength of cosoft letting more like-minded people join us, together with the optimal design of the platform, to contributed to the popularization of open-source in China unniversity!
