 I'm Stephen Jacobs and I'm here to talk to you today about Open at RIT, the University's Open Programs Office. RIT has a 12-year history of engaging with our students around open-source and humanitarian work. This includes our courses and our minor in free and open-source software and free culture. Our faucet magic program, which provides students the opportunity to engage through open-source in hackathons and other activities. And via our LibreCorps program, which provides students the opportunity to have cooperative experience educations, i.e. internships with non-governmental organizations and humanitarian groups. Open at RIT is a key research center and the Open Programs Office for the Rochester Institute of Technology. It provides support to faculty and staff around their open work, i.e. free and open-source software, open-source hardware, open educational resources, open data, open science, and related activities. We will be providing professional development content to faculty and staff who want to learn how to get involved in those areas or do more work in networking around those areas, both on and off campus. We offer monthly meetings and office hours for consultation on new or continuing projects. We support proposal and grant writing when the grant is for open work. And we offer the Open at RIT Fellows program funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. This fellowship is awarded through an RFP process to faculty and then provides them with the same type of LibreCorps support that we provide to NGOs and humanitarian organizations. We have been chartered for the next two years to provide advice on policy procedures and compliance for open work, on guidelines for the evaluation of open work for annual review, tenure, and promotion, and on the collection of metrics on the open work done by RIT faculty and staff. The idea of an open-source programs office for academia is a new one. As a result, we're working with a number of different organizations. Ospo Plus Plus is a group of academic, civic, and industry leaders who are interested in building more and more open-source offices in academia and in urban management. The To-Do Group is the Linux Foundation's association of open-source program officers from their membership. The Chaos community creates the Metrics Collection and Analytics software Grimoire Lab. They're looking to build academic metrics into that system. The Linux Foundation as well is looking to grow more opportunities for academia in open-source, and the Sustain OSS Academic Working Group is also looking at these plans. The IEEE SA Open Academic Working Group is built around the IEEE's brand new open platform for open-source development and community. I hope you found this brief introduction to open at RIT of interest. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to learn more.
