We Need Change
by sai ganesh 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

hi guys, just a formal introduction .i became an ambassador just a month ago.My name is saiganesh <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ganesai> a.k.a sai from India.i have been seeing how things are working around in fedora.i would like to suggest a few ideas for the campus ambassador program.unlike the fedora ambassador program ,the campus-ambassador program must be unique because we spread the Foss culture among the future generations of the world.also i want a clear distinction between fedora ambassador and fedora campus ambassador program. the things i noted where 1.Being a fedora ambassador means just you have to spread the Foss culture in around your city.But campus ambassador program is different, we spread the Foss ideas to students who in turn return back by contributing to them(Foss).so what i essentially say is that the idea of having a tech talk per semester will workout.but that is not enough.Clearly introducing the students to these Foss culture say For just one time per semester alone is not enough.what happens when they are stuck in a problem . These things are new to them.you may say mailing lists are there .But it takes time for new users to adapt themselves to Foss kind of environment.so why cant we have a Fedora Activity day one per semester consisting of tech talks and introduction to Foss . Followed by ,say 4 weeks of discussions on Sundays, we have our own LUG's.If someone is inspired on the fedora activity day .He or she tries the Foss technologies that week if he faces problems that week ,then the discussions group on Sunday can clear them out. 2.The discussion groups is not only for problem solving.it also essentially consist of discussion of fedora activities,new Foss technology, etc.i strongly recommend these groups also be funded.Because if someone is facing a problem and someone from the same college/university is there who can help out ,then it is going to help a lot in spreading Fedora and Foss. it is not going to be the heavy budget though. say $5 or $4 at the maximum that is going to cost for the purpose of printing posters , banners etc.this way we can easily spread the word in our colleges. 3.we can have yearly meet for the ambassadors of the same country where in they can discuss the future planning etc.. 4.the campus-ambassadors(students) who prove their worth in general can get some internship in Redhat or say even Discounts for Redhat GLS. 5.we need more often to discuss these sort of ideas in the mailing lists and IRC. guys please feel free to comment.share your thoughts. -- s.saiganesh “The Linux philosophy is 'Laugh in the face of danger'. Oops. Wrong One. 'Do it yourself'. Yes, that's it
