Granted, $599. Tracking page at http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Budget/2012/Mihaela_Sabin_SIGCSE_travel_grant#Request. This is the first fiscal year 2012 request, so I've started a new section at http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Budget#2012.
Some comments: > * HFOSS symposium short paper (attached) * panelist on the HFOSS > "Collaborating with Local Nonprofits" panel * facilitator of the BOF > "A Neglected Pipeline? How Faculty Teach, Advise, and Mentor Transfer > Students" Getting academic credit for TOS work is excellent stuff, and something I'm hoping we'll be able to help a few faculty with at each major event (right now, SIGCSE, FIE, and OSCON are the big ones on the "Red Hat wants to help sponsor a TOS presence here" list). > * help with POSSE recruitment * enlighten SIGCSE friends with my TOS > classroom experience We'll figure out specifically what sort of POSSE recruitment help we need when we get there - I think one of the things that might be really useful is help figuring out good ways to pitch this to professors, good ways to approach them, etc. > * write an opensource.com/education article. This is really helpful to me from a "Red Hat wants to understand what it's getting for its money" standpoint - the company doesn't necessarily want to read and understand all the academic papers we're putting out (though I'd still like to collect them, or links to them), but an opensource.com article written for laypeople - that, it can grok. Plus having the TOS presence at an event like SIGCSE covered is a ''really'' good thing. --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
