You can see the opportunity. You know your university could realize tremendous benefits by adopting stronger open source practices. Maybe today you only have an idea. Perhaps you’ve just received permission to start something—or you’ve been working on this challenge for a while with funding and support.
No matter where you are on your journey, this talk will offer concrete strategies for moving forward. Duane will share how to start where you are, use the resources you already have, and take the next step toward building stronger collaborations for your university.
