"I was recently invited to become a member of the Buck Institute's
National Faculty (I'll be headed to Napa Valley in early March for a
week of orientation—tough gig, I know). I will also be headed to China
in mid-March with the NC Science, Math, & Technology Center as we
accompany a cohort of students from the NCSSM to an international STEM
competition. Interspersed between and then after those trips are a
series of workshops I'm leading with schools to help them better
understand and adapt The Open Source Way into their culture."
