CROSS Research Symposium , Oct 11-14, 2021
Videos of all sessions now available
This remote event provided an opportunity to learn about the research being done by CROSS fellows and affiliated faculty, interact with CROSS and other UC Santa Cruz faculty, graduate students, and affiliated researchers, and discuss future directions and collaborative research projects at UC Santa Cruz. Each day included a plenary session, keynotes, and topic-specific workshops.
We were excited to have keynotes by Stormy Peters, Director of Microsoft's Open Source Program Office, and leading open source community expert Deb Nicholson. We also had roundtable discussions featuring community influencer's like Nithya Ruff of Comcast and Chassidy Cook of RedHat.
This year's workshops covered a range of topics including sessions focused on the work of on-going and up-coming CROSS projects, along with other exciting research topics that could benefit from working in open source ecosystems. This year we also once again highlighted our Open Source Research Experience contributors with dedicated lightning talk sessions.
