The above is my talk about applying the open source ethos to sharing our work as a community in public land grant universities. I posted earlier with the full textual context and slides.
You may notice that the talk description is very far off from the actual talk. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
I originally submitted an expansive talk on public universities using and contributing to open source software. When I was invited to do a 5 minute lightning talk instead, I chopped and chopped at the original material. Once I reached the 8 minute mark, I had to pick between two paths and this felt the most right.
Boone asked a question after the talk which was exactly related to the other path. And I flubbed the answer. I’m in the process of writing a post now with what I really wanted to say and it’s definitely a topic I want to continue discussing.
I will also note that I loved the lightning talk format. It was the hardest talk I’ve had to prepare for and I’m happy that I recognized that far enough in advance. It was great to be a part of such a wonderful lineup this year at WCSF.
