Salesforce.org is proud to host the first Higher Ed OSS Community Sprint taking place at the Harvard University, Cambridge, MA!

Building off the first HEDA Workshop the Higher Ed OSS Community Sprint was created to facilitate innovative, community-driven, open-source initiatives while instilling a fun atmosphere and shared sense of trust, transparency, ownership, and inclusion.

What's a Higher Ed OSS Community Sprint? It's all about you! The community of admins at higher education institutions, implementation partners, app partners, and developers who come together for 2 days of nothing but making the Higher Education Data Architecture (HEDA) better for everyone else (along with lots of laughs and caffeine).

You don’t need to be a developer. Bring your laptop, your ideas and a collaborative spirit. What will you specifically work on? That’s up to you! If you are expecting to be talked at while you stare at PowerPoint slides, this is not the event for you. We have some topic suggestions, but what you work on and how you do it is decided by you and your fellow attendees at the Sprint.

Who should attend: System Admins, users and consulting partners with hands-on HEDA experience, app partners interested in integrating with HEDA.
