FOSS Family Dinner - Dec. 2017
by Justin W. Flory 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hey all, We're planning to organize a FOSS Family dinner before the holidays and everyone goes home; if you want to join the RIT FOSS community for dinner, please fill out this WhenIsGood survey to find the best time / date before next Wednesday, Dec. 6th. http://whenisgood.net/ritfoss/dinner-dec-2017 Location is not yet decided. From discussions with some of you, we can give somewhere new a try, since I think some folks are a little tired of Peppermint's. We figure out location after we find a good date / time. Please try to fill the survey out before Wednesday, Dec. 6th if you want to join us for a final dinner this semester. Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

We’ll highlight several vendors that leverage open source in their products. tl;dr details * *Day*: Friday, Dec. 1st, 2017 * *Time*: 4:00pm - 6:00pm * *Where*: GOL-2650 (large DB lab, 2nd floor of GCCIS) Come hang out with us!

RIT Students: Be sure to register for HFOSS or FOSS Projects!
by D. Joe 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

I see from https://www.rit.edu/infocenter/sites/rit.edu.infocenter/files/images/2017-1… that the first registrations for next semester, Spring 2018, start rolling tomorrow, Monday, November 13th. Our introductory course, Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software Development, affectionately abbreviated as "HFOSS" is being offered next semester, so I wanted to put in a short word to remind you to be sure to add it to your shopping cart! The course is IGME-582 and meets MWF 9:05am-10am. It nominally requires 3rd-year standing, but we have a good history with taking students earlier than that via permission of the instructor (ie, yours truly!). So, if you're at all interested, please get in touch! HFOSS is a pre-requisite for another class that is also running this spring, IGME 585 Project in Free and Open Source Software Development. As with HFOSS, there's a possibility of enrolling with permission of the instructor if one lacks the pre-reqs. In this case, please contact Prof. Stephen Jacobs, sj(a)magic.rit.edu. You can read more about the RIT FOSS curriculum at: https://www.rit.edu/gccis/igm/sites/rit.edu.gccis.igm/files/images/FOSS-MN%… If you're reading this, you already have some access to our discussion mailing list (or its web interface).
