Welcome to the interactive session/workshop/anti-panel: “Let’s Get Real: Putting Research Findings Into Practice.”
Many researchers focus on FOSS but much of this work has little impact in the communities that could benefit the most from it. How can you, as FOSS community members and leaders, get the most out of research? How can you find relevant research or researchers, assess research quality, or figure out what to do with research results once you find them?
Structure
We have an hour. Let's have an excellent conversation! The structure of the session will be as follows:
- 3 topic-dedicated tables
- Participants: Join the table that interests you most! After 10 minutes, you'll get an invitation to switch. Either switch....or don't!
- Conveners are invited to edit the wiki pages as the discussions evolve!
- After 3 rotations, we'll take a pause for reflection and report-outs.
