RH Intern Projects

The Open Education Project: Using Technology to Improve Classroom Environments - Meera Malhotra
This presentation covers the Open Education Project (OPE), an open source project started by Red Hat Research that provides tooling for both students and professors. OPE is a command line tool that professors can create customizable containerized lab environments to teach computer science with, as well as tooling to author their own hosted textbooks with. The talk will go over how the tool is used, how it can assist professors in improving classroom environments, and how professors (or anyone interested) can create content with the tool. It will cover a student’s perspective who has both used the tool to learn programming and later contributed to the development of the tool, and share textbook content created from the tool.

ESI UI on OpenStack Dashboard - Austin Jamias
ESI stands for Elastic Secure Infrastructure, which is a resource allocation and initial provisioning tool that we use in the Mass Open Cloud. Please use the full name instead of "ESI" in the program (but you don't need to change the slides. Austin did not provide a bio, so you can say simply that he is a Boston University undergraduate and a Red Hat intern in the Research group.
