The FIE submission deadline (http://fie-conference.org/fie2011/) is Monday - who's submitting, who's going, any last-minute notes/collaborations you want the list to know about?
Sebastian and I were talking just now - we (Red Hatters) don't have any submissions in the pipeline and are a bit lost still when it comes to proposing academic-style talks. (Thanks tremendously to Heidi, Greg, Clif, and Matt for having me in the panel last year!) So we were instead thinking about getting a booth for TOS: http://fie-conference.org/fie2011/Pages/exhibit.htm - it's $1600 USD, but includes a full registration (normally about $500 for IEEE/ASEE members) and gives us the ability to buy "booth worker" registrations for other people at $350, so the cash outlay is really not so bad. We could semi-pitch TOS as a "society" of sorts, or a disciplinary commons, or a community of practice, or whatever would make the most sense to the organizers. We have until August 12 to decide (then the rate jumps +$300). Thoughts? Good investment/role to play, given that a number of profs here tend to show up at FIE to present and this might be a nice nucleation point/supplement? If this isn't the best use of our resources, what would be a better one? --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
