Open edX community workshop -- Zurich June 3rd

[Paul-Olivier Dehaye]

Hi everyone, 

On Tuesday June 3rd, there will be a technical workshop of the open EdX community at the University of Zurich.

This meeting will include a tech talk by Sef Kloninger describing how Stanford uses Open edX.  The talk will focus on the technology and process behind our instance: servers, code management, and developing (and sharing!) features.  We will also discuss technical directions for Open edX, especially non-Amazon hosting options, and IONISx’ solutions for theming and responsive UI. We will leave lots of opportunities for participants to share experiences. A detailed schedule is available on our announcement page:

So far, we have confirmed participants from the edX, EPFL, IONISx and proversity.org, as well as the local community. Others (INRIA, Valencia) are around town for other events and we will try to meet them too.

The meeting is open to anyone. Many logistical details are still to be fixed, but the workshop will take place starting around 11am and go all the way to dinner.  Please consult http://www.tinyurl.com/openedx-zurich for latest information, and do not hesitate to email us if there is a need.

Hi Paco

Probably some parts will be. I have added a placeholder on the conference page. Keep an eye on there.

As it happens, edX people won't be able to attend this get-together, though it sounds like it will be amazing! I'll join a hangout if there is one.

Hi Paul,

We at Indiana University are evaluating Open Edx for our own needs. As you know, we are evolving rapidly and are considering using Open Edx as a platform to host courses. Would this workshop take us through all we need for using Open Edx? How much is the cost?

Thank You,

I apologize. Missed the year part of the date. 

In any case, are there any upcoming Open Edx technical workshops?

Thank You,

Sidd

Hi Sidd,

You are a year late! There are several events in the work, but I am not familiar with events in the US. Maybe someone else will steer you towards something more relevant?

We are working on the details of the next Open edX Conference in the fall.  We should have a time and place to announce in the next few weeks.
