Should we consider trying to have OpenFE as part of that booth next year? G.
From: tos-boun...@teachingopensource.org [mailto:tos-boun...@teachingopensource.org] On Behalf Of Heidi Ellis Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2012 8:14 AM To: 'Discussions about Teaching Open Source' Subject: [TOS] Expect Traffic Hi Folks, I have just returned from the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing attended by 3500 technical women. I was part of an Open Source Day where we hacked on ten different projects including Wikipedia and GNOME Accessibility. Incredible experience to see so many women students get involved in FOSS within one day. The ten organizations that took part in Open Source Day put on a booth during the conference. This booth had HUGE traffic. I manned the booth a couple of hours each day Weds-Fri and brought the TOS cards and white-board markers. The markers are all gone and we are down to half a box of business cards. (Oh, and the shwag for the day was Mozilla socks with the fox logo. Pretty cool!) I wanted to give you a heads up because we may see an increase in traffic on our site and on the list. Just wanted you to know where at least some of that traffic may be coming from and that most of these folks will be newbies. I also talked to a fair number of international folks including from India and Japan. Heidi
