Speakers needed...
Hi all,
NERCOMP has asked me to help organize a session on openness scheduled for Thursday, April 12. A tentative agenda was developed (see below), but speakers have not been identified. If you would be interested in participating, or know someone in the Northeast who might be, please let me know.
Thanks,
Patrick
Northeast Open Initiatives
A culture of openness has begun taking root in the core of academia.
Universities around the world are embracing values of transparency,
collaboration, and open innovation as they move to adopt open source
software, make use of open educational resources and scholarly content and
begin to explore open models of governance. Is a comprehensive shift towards
openness in higher education a positive trend? What does this shift portend
for institutional and educational transformation? How can universities in
this area best leverage the opportunities this movement presents and
mitigate some of the inherent challenges it poses?
This SIG will present a panel of individuals representing different open
initiatives underway around New England and the greater Northeast, discuss
their evolution and potential impact, identify common challenges or issues
posed, and explore the idea of developing a Northeast Open (NEO) regional
initiatives consortium for leveraging cross-institutional collaboration in
this area.
Participants should expect to come away with a broader understanding of the
following questions:
- What is openness - (e.g. What are the essential values or components).
- How have open communities (open source as well as OCW, OER consortia)
organized themselves differently to deliver quality products and/or
services.
-How can institutions orient themselves to both participate in and partake
of open source communities, products and processes.

I could volunteer our Chief Technology Strategist for public sector, Gunnar Hellekson. He represents Red Hat in many communities of interest in the public sector (Civic Commons, Code for America, etc.) and as a liaison to the fedora.org community. http://gunnar.hellekson.com/about
Let me know and I'll sync you up with him.
