Next month, the HFOSS group is hosting their annual Symposium on H-FOSS and Education.
A couple weeks back Professor Moorthy pointed me at their Call For Participation page and suggested that I should apply for a poster session on my work with Open Legislation and the New York State Senate’s CIO. This past Friday I finalized and sent in my application, so I’m excited to see what kind of response it gets. There is even a chance for Google to sponsor my trip (free admission and $300 towards travel expenses)!
I’m not entirely sure what the next steps would be if my application was accepted. The confirmation message suggested that I will not have access to electronic media or electrical outlets at the poster session. Never having been to a conference set up like this, I’ll need to do some research into what sorts of visuals and materials are expected.
For the curious, my proposal has been uploaded here.
