Sessions
IEEE is a NonProfit with over 420K members in 160 Countries. We have created a platform that will be in existence for the next couple of decades to support our standards-making process. We have a very diverse community across the globe and the platform is open to all. One of the first things we decided to focus on is Role Diversity. In this presentation, we will talk about how we are in the process of creating and automating those processes. In true IEEE fashion, these processes are being created by our volunteers in a very open transparent fashion. We are also incorporating those processes into best Practices and Standards. Being 100% Open Source is a key philosophy that drives this community forward. Learn from what we have done in the past year. We will illustrate how we are supporting everyone: nonprofit users, designers, social media mavens, product managers, and more. Complete with checklist, templates, and process diagrams.
