I am an MA student in Digital Rhetoric and Professional Writing. I also work for the Instructional Systems Team in Academic Technology Services at Michigan State University where one of my jobs is the MSU Google Apps Education Edition administrator. I just started running Google Apps training at the most recent January, 2011 faculty seminars. I am also part of the team evaluating Moodle at MSU.

This Proposal is Cloudy
Friday, March 18th, 2011 | felicia
Help me clear things up! Get it, cloudy – clear things up?
The Cloud
I can talk about either or both:
- What is “the cloud.” I can give a talk about what is meant by “the cloud.” I’d share what I’ve learned so far regarding outsourcing work to the cloud. I can also highlight some questions and concerns I have.
- I can talk more specifically just about the cloud service Google Apps which I administer at MSU. I just started running faculty training for Google Apps too. Therefore, I know about both the user side and administrative side. This would be less general cloud discussion and more practical Google Apps training.
Getting Support in Open Source Software Communities
I also have a strong background working with Open Source software. I gave a talk about a year ago regarding how support (i.e. help from people) differs between open source software and proprietary software. In order to trigger action:Open Source -> Rhetoric, Proprietary -> Money. I can tell you how to write a better bug report or feature request. I like thinking of this as hacking the community.
If no one comments, I’ll pick something and put here or in the comments.
