Commons Project: Transfer Equivalency

Open Source Commons project focused on building functionality to search for course and credit transfer equivalency between institutions.

Virtual Community Innovation: Wrapping up the first virtual sprint of the year!

 

"Can I just say, this has sparked a passion in me and I’m going to attend EVERY sprint going forward" - Virtual Sprinter

 

WOW, what a MASSIVE start to 2024! We were thrilled to gather our Nonprofit and Education community virtually for two days of brainstorming, creating impactful solutions, and fun networking to build community solutions for common challenges affecting Nonprofits and Schools.

 

120+ attendees from 15 countries came together virtually, bringing their skills and passion to the table. From Japan to Australia, to India, the global dedication to this event was truly remarkable! Thank you to all who stayed up late, woke up early, and spent time away from your day job and family to spend time sharing your skills.

    We've been to Baltimore, but not DC itself. We used to host our events in hotel ballrooms, so always tended to host in cities more accessible to our Nonprofit community, cost wise, and ones that were generally within driving distance from other large cities. 

     

    Since we've come back post-covid we host in Salesforce office spaces where they have enough space to hold about 100 Sprinters which are generally the towers in bigger cities. It's very possible we could come to DC in the future if there is a space we can use.

     

    For virtual, during covid we held 100% virtual events, but for the upcoming November Sprint in SFO, we're piloting our first hybrid experience. Sign up before Thursday if you're interested in participating with us on Nov 2nd and 3rd :)

Heads up OSC Teams and volunteers! 

 

Because of this move, existing links to the Open Source Commons documentation on the Power of Us Hub site will no longer be accessible after July 15th. There will NOT be a redirect in place for our docs, so any prior link directed to the Hub will result in the "We Moved" page message. 

 

New OSC Doc link (on Salesforce Help & Training site)

 

I've updated the group side panel with the new links, but please do the same in your group(s) if you've linked to them. 

 

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

    @Elisa Rustenbach no, you don't have to be available all day so if you have a meeting to attend or need to walk the dog/feed the kids/take a break it's completely ok to step away. Participants usually have so much fun working on their team they tend to want to stay all day, but it's not a requirement by any means :) 

     

    As a new Sprinter, the most important parts are the first few hours of Day 1 so you understand the flow of the event and how you'll contribute to the goals of your chosen team.

@Eric Kenney​ I'm getting things ready for the next Open Source Community Sprint (February 10th - 11th), and wanted to confirm if this group wanted to be included as a project selection choice during registration? If so, I'd like to define a leader or a couple of co-leaders before it's added. Would that be you​, or perhaps @Starley Flynn​ or @Kathy Zimmerman​ or @Haley Gould​? If anyone else wants to lead or work to move this effort forward, please let me know!
