On Wednesday the 10th of March, recent DCU graduate (and Redbrick alum) James McDermott will chat about the trials and tribulations of open sourcing a university-level project and how you can learn from his experience to roadmap your way to open source success!

This week's event is a talk about Inclusive Engineering given by Tom Shaw. Tom has worked in the Tech Industry for many years and has worked at places such as Riot Games, Citibank and Demonware. He will be talking about the current level of diversity within the tech industry, the importance of diversity and how we can can make it more inclusive.

The talk will start at 3pm on Wednesday at https://dcu-ie.zoom.us/j/95924327018. See you there!
