Hey there!

I'm https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mchua, a (relatively) new 
Fedoran, recently from Olin College (http://www.olin.edu) in Needham, 
Massachusetts (USA).

(I (like) pare(nthe)ses).

John Rose pointed me towards the Campus Ambassadors program - university 
outreach is a big interest of mine, having graduated as an electrical 
engineer not too long ago and also having spent about 2 years working on 
university programmes at OLPC 
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/University_chapters) - I'd love to talk with 
folks about what you're working on and whether any of the lessons we 
learned or materials we made for the OLPC groups might be useful here.

I also work on http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE, which is a 
program for university professors who want to get their classes involved 
in open source projects - so instead of doing a problem set, maybe you'd 
triage some stuff in bugzilla, for example. Would anyone be interested 
in trying to get a POSSE to happen in their school sometime this year 
(or next summer)?

I'm mchua on #fedora-* (I'm always in #fedora-mktg when I'm online) so 
feel free to ping either there or on email!
