As an open organization that serves students and faculty in a new and growing space in academia, Open@RIT would love to have you share your input with our team, faculty, and students. There are any number of ways to do this including:

  • Come to campus as a speaker (or join us virtually). Discuss a special topic, propose a panel or join us for an Open@RIT meeting to talk to faculty and staff.
  • Provide a guest lecture in a class in your field on how Open works in your area of expertise.
  • Or anything else you think we’ve missed!

Talent

Want to become a contributor to Mystic? Here’s our repo. It’s hosted on IEEE SA Open and is built around GrimoireLab, both great FOSS community projects that could use all kinds of contributors.

Perhaps you know of an Open faculty project and want an introduction to the professor? We’re always happy to help. We’ll begin publishing a director of Open projects by members of Open@RIT in mid 2022, so check back once in a while or add yourself to our email list.

Treasure

By working with faculty who are new to Open Work and teaching and training students in the Open Source Way, we’re helping to build a more open generation of talent. Whether it’s ten dollars or ten figures, we’d love your contribution to keep our work going.
