The Open@RIT Fellowship: Preparing Academics and Researchers for the Need to Build A Community...
summary
Open@RIT runs a Sloan-funded, service-based fellowship that sends multiple student teams to do community building not cash grants, typically finishing work in under a semester but allowed to spill over. Services include community architecture analysis, maintainer and user interviews, UI/UX refresh, governance setup and pipeline/tooling fixes. Projects supported range from One Laptop per Child educational games and UNICEF community development to the Victorian Autobiographical Information Network; early signals of success are faculty moving from consumers to contributors and three projects asking for NSF proposal help.
