Hello all, Like Mihaela, I'm also wondering if we're able to support a SIGCSE 2011 travel request. I've managed to find funds to cover registration and room, but I'm short travel.
1. I'll be contributing to a panel on HFOSS along with several other TOS members[1]. 2. I anticipate contributing to BOF activities surrounding FOSS at SIGCSE. 3. I can contribute to POSSE recruiting. 4. I'll help with SIGCSE coverage for opensource.com/education. Will coordinate this on the osdc-edu-authors list. What I'd really like to do are interviews with faculty-developers (that's a combo as opposed to either/or) who work on open source projects. For example, BlueJ is now open source (after many years of being free-but-closed), and there is likely an interesting "change story" there on the part of the team. Likewise, I'd like to capture some stories regarding "change in practice" stories---even if they're from members of the TOS community, as I don't think we've ever captured those stories of "transformation." I'll bring my audio interview rig (2x wireless lapels and a portable solid state recorder), as I think a series of short (10 minute) audio interviews as described could make a nice "podcast" series for opensource.com over the coming months. My total travel expense is $573.41.
