This year, for the first time ever, the Red Hat Summit (Red Hat's mega-conference) is having a dedicated community track, vetted by the OSAS team (our team at Red Hat). There is interest in having Open Source in EDU talks!
The Call For Proposals (not papers, notice) is here: http://community.redhat.com/blog/2016/01/community-track-at-red-hat-summit-call-for-proposals/ Here are some areas which I think would be well received by the CFP review committee: * HFOSS in edu * Practical examples of how engaging students with open source matters * Open Innovation as it applies to open source * Students giving strong presentations on how open source has changed their life/the world around them/their school/etc Things they are not interested in: * Sales pitches for your school * Discussion of proprietary technologies * Academic style papers (not that these are bad, just not for RHS) Red Hat Summit has an audience of top IT execs, administrators, developers, and RH employees (from the CEO down). Presenting at RHS is an excellent chance to have exposure to your programs (and students) from a worldwide audience of employers and potential contributors, as well as key developers from a wide range of upstream projects. Red Hat Summit also runs in parallel with DevNation, which has a focus on developers and draws a rather large crowd. You have the opportunity to inspire and be inspired (and get on Red Hat's radar in a positive way). The CFP closes February 8th, 2016 (sorry, I know that's not a lot of time, out of my control). In 2016, the Red Hat Summit will be in San Francisco, CA, June 28-30: http://www.redhat.com/summit/ DevNation happens June 26-29: http://www.devnation.org/ Thanks, ~tom == Red Hat _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
