@jflory7 @axk4545 @TaylorBowling @fosspotato

I want to kick off the planning publicly as we start to really map out this semester.

Serubin commented 7 years ago

Detailed Tasking

Linux 101 - 1 (9/1)

Tasked too: @axk4545 @TaylorBowling. Hard deadline: 8/25

jwflory commented 7 years ago

@Serubin If I remember right, our current plan is for @TaylorBowling to lead with @Serubin supporting the creation of a general RITlug intro presentation, followed by Open Source 101 (@jflory7) and then Linux 101 with @TaylorBowling and @axk4545 together, right?

TaylorBowling commented 7 years ago

I've updated the schedule above based on recent decisions. I'll start working on the RITlug introduction slideshow next week, if anyone has anything they'd like to add or would like to further collaborate please let me know!

jwflory commented 7 years ago

@TaylorBowling Thanks. As an FYI too, if you want a gap week by swapping the Linux 101 and Open Source 101 sessions, we can do that if you think you'll need the time. Otherwise, I'll use the extra week to try to come up some marketing or try to promote it a bit outside of GCCIS.

As a general note, I'd like to give quick sessions on Docker / containers and also Kubernetes (quick is the emphasis, I have enough knowledge to be dangerous but not be represent the entire Kubernetes stack). I imagine this being in the October time frame, but I'll need to sit down and map out a topic and what I want to cover. In particular, I want to use the planning outline that was developed at the Mozilla all-hands event last weekend.

I'll also see if we can fill some of these weeks with guest presenters.

patkub commented 7 years ago

I'd like to give a quick session on Polymer web components and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), and web testing in a CI. Can do some time in September.

Serubin commented 7 years ago

@patkub Could you swing it early october? I'd love to see this happen! Week 7, Oct. 13?

patkub commented 7 years ago

@Serubin Ok, I can do Oct. 13.

Serubin commented 6 years ago

@fosspotato How's Oct. 20th for your presentation.

Serubin commented 6 years ago

Adding @fosspotato's presentation

jwflory commented 6 years ago

Updated table with @bacharakis's presentation, pushed some things around.

jwflory commented 6 years ago

@patkub I pinged you in Telegram but didn't get an answer – are you still good for this Friday?

ct-martin commented 6 years ago

Propsed talks:

(Cc @jflory7)

jwflory commented 6 years ago

Updated Week 07 with Spigot talk. Reminder that @fosspotato is up for next week with "Women in FOSS".

jwflory commented 6 years ago

@ct-martin volunteered to give "Overview of Distributed Computing" on Nov. 3rd. We might try to make November the "month of the cloud" if I can get my Kubernetes talk done in time or if we can get a guest speaker for an Ansible one.

Oct. 27th is currently blank, but I was thinking we could make that into a Hacktoberfest Friday for club members to work on open source projects to get their free t-shirt and stickers from DigitalOcean.

jwflory commented 6 years ago

Oct. 27th

Nov. 3rd

@ct-martin Please provide a 2-3 sentence description of your talk we can use to promote your session.

Nov. 10th

cprofitt commented 6 years ago

I will do a talk on December 1st. Linux and FOSS: Hidden in the Data Center It used to be that data centers were ruled by big iron and proprietary software. Today data centers are running on top of Open Source. In many cases the Open Source stack is hidden. This talk will highlight several vendors that leverage Open Source in their products.

jwflory commented 6 years ago

That's a wrap for this semester! We'll pick up with planning for next semester over the winter break.
