See [[Open Source Comes to Campus/Curriculum/Career Panel]]. |

See also: [[OSCTC career panel]]. |

We aim for four panelists representing a diversity of open-source jobs. For example, past panelists have included people who work for [http://www.redhat.com/ Red Hat] [http://loft.bocoup.com/ BoCoup Loft] [http://sunlightfoundation.com/ the Sunlight Foundation] and [http://www.personalgenomes.org/mission.html the Personal Genome Project], as well as freelancers. |
|||
We start off by asking each person to introduce themselves, their current occupation, and their current employer and to talk very briefly about how that work relates to open source. |
|||
Then - questions! Potential questions include: |
|||
* How did you get started in open source? |
|||
* What opportunities are out there for college students? And do you have any other advice specific to college students? |
|||
* Do you have advice on what to do when approaching a project for the first time? |
|||
* What obstacles have you faced in open source? How have you addressed them? |
|||
* What business models are there for open source? |
|||
* What are some non-programming contributions you've made? |
|||
* What's your favorite open source project? |
|||
* Who's the coolest person you've met doing open source stuff? |
|||
We typically do the career panel just before lunch so that attendees can socialize with panelists immediately afterwards. |
|||
Make sure Google Summer of Code, GNOME Outreach Project for Women, and any local opportunities are mentioned! |
