talk on conference website
There is a huge academic community of researchers focused 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? In these interactive,
workshop-style session, experts will help practitioners learn to
search, select, and unpack research. Additional topics will include
publications, journals, and academic conferences FOSS practioners
should pay attention to, partnering with academic researchers, as well
as practical techniques for how to apply research to your own work.
