==Career Panel==
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!
