Re: [guadec-list] An academic track at GUADEC 2015 ?

[meg ford <megford gnome org>]

Have you thought about asking academics to talk specifically about research that uses tools created by the GNOME community? For example iirc CMU Sphinx uses GStreamer in the backend, CERN runs Scientific Linux, etc. I think there are many other academic projects which rely on GNOME or other GNU technologies.

Why not go for a co-located event and invite those attending GUADEC to
your own event? That way, you don't have to compromise yourself to "fit"
under the GNOME umbrella but still get the benefit of discussing
academic-related open-source stuff with experts that would attend GUADEC
anyway.
