Important Events this month: July Microconf with GT and the Apereo AGM
Michelle Hall
We have two major July events to remind you of, and ask that you please attend if you are able. Both are held virtually via Big Blue Button.
Insights from Open Source Student Engagement Efforts at Georgia Tech
How do we inspire and prepare the next generation of open source contributors?
Join us for an engaging conversation featuring Dr. Jeffrey Young, Director of the Georgia Tech Open Source Program Office (OSPO), alongside Alex Jenkins, President of Georgia Tech's LibreTech Collective. Together they'll share how Georgia Tech is building a thriving culture of student engagement in open source through mentorship, community, internships, and campus-wide collaboration.
If your institution is interested in creating stronger pathways for students to participate in open source—or if you're simply passionate about growing sustainable open source communities—this session is not to be missed.

The Apereo Foundation warmly invites our global community to attend the 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The AGM is open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend, whether you're an institutional member, project contributor, student, partner, or simply interested in learning more about Apereo and the future of open source in higher education.
During the meeting, we'll reflect on the Foundation's accomplishments over the past year, share organizational updates, celebrate our growing community, and look ahead to the opportunities that await in 2026 and beyond. Our newest board members will be seated, and board officers will be elected. Patrick will also discuss the Annual Report.

We hope you'll join us for one, but hopefully both of these events. Every conversation, every question, and every new connection helps strengthen the global open source ecosystem serving education.
We look forward to seeing you there!
