I missed #educause this year, I am sorry that I missed seeing friends, but I was very interested to read Glenda Morgan's reaction. There are few people in #edtech that I trust more. It sounds like it was a bit of a mixed bag, but I could have gone for a Chicago style hotdog. https://onedtech.philhillaa.com/p/educause-2023-conference-notes #highered #educause23 #sausages #edu23
Educause 2023 Conference Notes

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Starting week two of a two-week+ conference circuit (my first real travel since COVID), and what I've noticed most is that I've lost all my time management skills!

The U.S. National Security Agency/Central Security Service has just recommended vendor practices to support #OpenSource development and maintenance...

"Every organization using #OSS should support the OSS ecosystem, including by (see image attached).

My favorites:
1. Partnering with existing OSS Foundations and pursuing collaborative efforts
2. Participation in OSS and grant programs.

I'm looking at you #HigherEd, #EdTech companies.

Just heard at @Educause Annual Conference (#Educause23 #EDU23) that #NetNeutrality is coming back in the U.S.

Thanks to Jarrett Cummings for the good news!

Hiltzik: The FCC's move to restore net neutrality is overdue

Trump's FCC killed network neutrality, giving internet firms free rein to strong-arm consumers — even first responders. Thankfully, Biden's FCC wants to revive it.

I wonder if I am the only person at #Educause23, with 5000+(?) attendees, using a @system76 laptop? Seems like #highered and the #EDU23 crowd would appreciate both the technical advantages and educational affordences of #Linux and #OpenSource.

Interesting graphic from D'Arcy Norman (@dnorman) displaying the categories and number of exhibitors at Educause (#EDU23, #Educause23). I wonder if these follow or push #highered #edtech? It would be interesting to overlay this with Educause's annual "Top IT Trends" reports.

2 Quick Fixes for the listedtech EDUCAUSE Conference Floor Space Analysis

Justin posted a thing on listedtech, looking at historical “big booth” presenter data from the EDUCAUSE annual conference, with data from 2012-20221. It’s an interesting approach, but the charts he used didn’t make it easy to see if there was anything going on. Any trends? Shifts? Gaps? So, I took a couple of minutes to throw the data into Numbers and created the 2 visualizations I was looking for in the article.

Hello @educause Is there a Mastodon hashtag for next week's #Educause Annual Conference, e.g., #EDU23 or #Educause23?
