Conducting annual symposia and training events aimed at growing open source projects and community.
Hosting a series of internal workshops with key partners to raise open source awareness and adoption.
Conducting a campus-wide open source community landscape survey to get a picture of the campus culture and create an initial index of open source efforts and projects.
Expanding our existing Open Source Internship program and broadening participation through a partnership with Madison College.
Conducting Carpentries-style training programs and resource pages to hone the skills needed as an effective open source contributor.
