Hey all,

 

Welcome to week 8! We have two main events coming up this fall that we
would like to invite everyone to:

 

*7th Annual Election Night Hackathon - November 7th, 5pm - 11pm*

 

Learn about civic hacking and watch the regional and national election
results arrive in real time. Hear from speakers from Second Avenue
Learning will discuss and demo their Elections Ed that uses real data
from historical elections to allow you to run your own elections. Then
hack the night away on current projects or propose new civic hacking
projects with new friends!

 

Pizza and other consumables will be provided. Please RSVP so we know how
much to buy.

*FOSS@MAGIC Talks - Open Source @ Facebook - November 15th, 4:30pm - 6pm*

 

FOSS@MAGIC would like to invite everyone to attend our next FOSS Talk on
Wednesday, November 15 as we welcome Christine Abernathy, the Open
Source Developer Advocate at Facebook. 

 

She'll be sharing insight into some of their challenges that they've
faced as they continue to scale their open source program and some of
the tools and processes they've used to help solve their biggest
engineering challenges.

 

Pizza and other consumables will be provided. Please RSVP so we know how
much to buy.

We would additionally like to invite everyone to join us at our weekly
FOSS Hours in GCCIS-2500 (GOL Hall). Anyone who is interested in any
form of open source (software, hardware, design, art), or would like to
hang out and meet folks from the RIT open source community is invited to
join us. Be sure to invite your friends.

 

For more events and news, feel free to join us on Telegram or IRC, along
