Very successful panel on open source software-based projects at the Oklahoma Library Association conference yesterday, featuring some of the members of last fall’s LIS 5433 class:
As I said in my brief introduction to this session, it’s good when a class “gets” what I’m supposed to be teaching. It’s better when the class “gives” more than what I’m supposed to be teaching. And it’s best when the class “grows” far outside the boundaries of the classroom (virtual or otherwise).
Oddly enough, I actually feel much prouder of having facilitated this panel than of anything that happened during my own third-year review (highly satisfactory as that turned out to be…. thanks, extremely-celebrated scholar
who-shall-not-be-named, for helping to ensure that my contract is renewed for another year) last week. Special thanks to Jeff Siddons and the OLA IT Roundtable for agreeing to sponsor the session!
