Spring 2017 schedules #29

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Introduction

Let's open a conversation about what our schedules look like so far for the upcoming (Spring 2017) semester, in terms both of recurring weekly and monthly events (relevant classes, FOSS hours, meetups) and broader one-off events.

We can open per-event issues if necessary to point back to or otherwise inform changes to this issue, but for now let's start with the bigger picture.

Some notable reference points of which @ritjoe is aware so far:

Local and regional events

Recurring events

HFOSS class Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:00-9:50

FOSS Culture class

FOSSTalks These Wednesday afternoons, MAGIC Center: 2/15. 3/22, 4/19 4-6

FOSS Hours 4-6 non-FOSSTalk Wednesdays GOL-2500

RITLUG Every Friday, 4pm-6pm, GOL-2620

RocPy RocPy meetup page Presentations on 3rd Tuesdays, Organization meeting on 4th Tuesdays.

Linux Workshop 3rd Saturdays.

codeRIT hack nights TBD

One-off events

TEDxAllendale Columbia Feb 4, 2017.

BrickHack is February 11-12, 2017. Brickhack page at Fedora events

DandyHacks February 17-19, 2017.

WiCHacks February 25-26, 2017.

Spring Break is March 13-17, 2017.

FIRST Robotics March 15-18, 2017.

Hack Upstate IX is April 8-9, 2017.

NYCWIC April 21, 2017

Space Apps Challenge April 28-30?

Imagine RIT May 6, 2017.

Finals are May 15-19, 2017.

National and international events

GDC is February 27 through March 3, 2017. SXSW March 10-19, 2017 LibrePlanet March 25-26, 2017. Red Hat Summit May 2-5, 2017 OSCON May 8-11, 2017 PyCon May 17-25, 2017.

I'm going to mention people widely in hopes people can help fill any gaps in what I've included so far, and to otherwise help people plan, particularly those in the broader community who might not have as many opportunities to get news of upcoming events.

no FOSS@MAGIC support in the past. WiCHacks http://wic-hacks.rit.edu/ February 25-26, 2017.

We’ve offered support in the past. Sometimes with negative results though I believe that’s behind us. Don’t know what Dan may have offered. Spring Break is March 13-17, 2017.

No Participation from FOSS this year, Finals Week I'm going to mention people widely in hopes people can help fill any gaps in what I've included so far, and to otherwise help people plan, particularly those in the broader community who might not have as many opportunities to get news of upcoming events.

jwflory commented 7 years ago

As far as RITlug goes, I haven't talked with @Serubin about it yet, but I think Fridays, 4pm-6pm will continue to be the meeting time. Not sure if Solomon wants to resume a weekly rate or keep it on even-numbered weeks like it was this semester.

Wednesday seems nice for FOSS Hours, perhaps if it's not too late, I could even video call in for a couple of them. 😃 But obviously since I'm not on campus, factoring in my schedule would be pointless.

This past semester, the codeRIT hack / workshop nights were every Friday, but I think @wilfriedE or @ColdSauce could speak a little more to whether it will remain the same this coming semester.

ghost commented 7 years ago

OK, thanks for the comments. My omission in particular of Space Apps, FIRST, and most especially Imagine were pretty huge gaps you helped fill. I've included in the lead post many if not most of the additional things mentioned.

Very useful to know what FOSS@MAGIC has on its plate for the semester, so thanks for those comments.

For my part, I like to let HFOSS students know what's going on eventwise. I try to be pretty inclusive in terms of what events they can attend for meetup credit.

A lot of IGM faculty and students, including HFOSS students, tend to go to GDC, so I wanted to have those dates on hand.

I'll continue to look forward to comments from @Serubin, @wilfriedE, and @ColdSauce about the events they're involved in.

Serubin commented 7 years ago

FYI: Imagine is May 6th, not march.

Serubin commented 7 years ago

@jflory7 @ritjoe: I'd like to keep RITLUG the same time unless there are any major objections. I also want to give a shot to every week, maybe doing presentations on even weeks only. I need to get room reservations for those nights set up.

I'm good on Fossbox on Wednesdays - I think that's what they were last year.

I'll be more and more around during the next few weeks as I shift focus back to RIT and FOSS/LUG stuff.

cprofitt commented 7 years ago

Solomon:

I am available to do some presentations.

@schneidy are your MAGIC Lab hours same this semester as last?

schneidy commented 7 years ago

@ritjoe Sure. Might vary every now and then due to phone calls/meetings, but otherwise yes.

ghost commented 7 years ago

:+1:

ghost commented 7 years ago

An in-person comment from someone at FOSS Hours this week made me look again to see whether I'd fixed the Imagine RIT date yet or not.

When I look at the top post here as edited it has it in May now, not March as I erroneously first had it.

See https://github.com/FOSSRIT/fossbox-tasks/issues/29#issue-198815777

jwflory commented 7 years ago

Just a couple of notes:

@ritjoe, I edited your original comment to add in the current meeting time that @Serubin is following (which is the same as last semester, but weekly now, with talks on even weeks).

Also worth noting, there will very sadly not be a Fedora presence at BrickHack this year. 😞

jwflory commented 7 years ago

Also another thought, what would qualify closing this issue, now that FOSS Hours are planned? Would it be better to get this info into some sort of static document in one of our repositories? I think tracking this info is helpful, but I could also see how it could get lost and confusing here since the issue is more of like a discussion area.

jwflory commented 7 years ago

Since it's been about a month, I'm going to go ahead and close this issue. It will be still be available should we need to refer back to it, but it would probably be a good idea to create a file or wiki page somewhere to archive this info.

Probably most related to #33…
