FOSS Hours Spring 2024

RIT Academic Life
#1

Hello!

Belated announcement because I forgot this category was here, but I plan to continue FOSS hours for a third semester in a row (and unfortunately probably my last due to graduating).

Details are the same. 6-8pm wednesdays in RIT’s SHED computer lab.

I’ll try and update the Calendar | FOSS@RIT page as soon as I have a reservation confirmed.

If anyone is an expert on the logistics of getting an online and in person event to coexist well, I’d be downdown to try, but so far its mostly just been an in person focus

Personally, in my humble experience, it is better to prioritize the in-person experience. That is my 2¢.

Maybe I can plan a surprise visit sometime to Rochester this semester. I always seem to find a way there one way or another. :slightly_smiling_face:

Ive also thought about designating a separate timeslot for an online-only FOSS Hours.

That might help make a timing a little more varies for people/students who dont want to make it to campus at at that time in the evenings.

That is a good idea too. I think it is better to do all one way or the other, but not to do hybrid. Hybrid always feels like a sub-par experience to me.
