FOSSTalks: Bringing FOSS to Comcast - 3/22 (This Wednesday)

[Daniel Schneiderman]

Hey all,

Join RIT’s FOSS@MAGIC program for our March FOSS Talk as we’re visited by Nithya Ruff.

Nithya Ruff has been a mover and shaker in FOSS for most of her career and is currently
pioneering Open Source Practice at Comcast. This will be her second effort at leading the
move toward Open in a major corporation, having completed a similar effort at SanDisk
before moving to Comcast. She’s been an active board member of the Linux foundation for
four years and a long-time champion of diversity in tech, most recently having become the
Chairperson Diversity and Inclusion for CodeChix.

We’re looking forward to hearing how she’s helping to bring FOSS to Comcast.

Registration for the event is free but registering lets us know how much food to order.

Register at:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fosstalks-bringing-foss-to-comcast-tickets-3...

<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fosstalks-bringing-foss-to-comcast-tickets-3...
Who: Open to the public (not just RIT Students) just be sure to RSVP.
When: Wednesday, March 22nd. 4:30pm-6pm.
Where: RIT Center for Media, Arts, Games, Interaction, and Creativity (MAGIC). Building
87, Room 1600. Parking is available in "S" Lot, near crossroads dining hall.

Be sure to save the date for our next hackathon, NASA Space Apps, on April 29th &
30th. Details to be announced soon!

Thanks,
Dan

I remember seeing this asked in IRC but not sure if it was answered. Are
questions asked in advance able to be submitted? I'd be curious to send
some over, and I know Nolski was wondering too.

Thanks!

I had mentioned to nolski, assuming everyone is okay with it, that I could
skype him in if he wanted. Same goes for anyone else.

This will be 9:30pm for me, so I should be around. If we could use
Google Hangouts or BlueJeans, that would be preferred. I'd love to dial
in for this one. :)
