Potentially host an academic venue with an OpenSSF event

Open JustinCappos opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

There would be a lot of benefit for both communities to co-locate academic events with OpenSSF events. I think this would really help to make academics do more relevant research, get new contributors into the OpenSSF, and expand on training, etc. initiatives of the LF.

What we would need from the OpenSSF is:

  1. Willingness to do this
  2. A persistent website which has the PDFs for the proceedings

Things we would cover:

  1. Reviewing / selecting the accepted PDFs
  2. Forming a program committee for the venue
  3. The cost of the event

I love this idea! We can look at our 2026 docket of events and see where best we could consider doing this! @afmarcum

I'm definitely interested. I'd be happy to serve on the program committee, if desired.

Requested a Slack channel (#sig-academic-connections) be created to facilitate communication and discussion for this effort.
