Thoughts Regarding Campus Ambassador Program

[Jack Aboutboul]

Hello All,

I would like to get some feedback regarding the proposed program.  You 
can find the wiki page here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Campus_Ambassadors

Let the discussion begin.  Any feedback is greatly appreciated, I hope 
to get everything in order and announce this to the world soon.

Thanks,
Jack

[Alejandro Acosta]

I believe this is a great project and it is very important to start it as
soon as possible since we have a lot of potential and talented people in
university willing to participate.

I've had some opportunities to work with this young people and I've
witnessed some local projects been achieved. In the University of Chihuahua
(my hometown) there is already an Open Source University Meetup [1] lead by
a Sun Campus Ambassador.  This doesn't mean that the field is already taken
but it just mean to express how good the chances to succed are.

I think is important to have -provide- a more social-driven tool to interact
since the target audience in Universities is a little more diversified thus
complex. The link provided may serve as a good example or maybe something
like this[2]

It doesn't look clear to me what will be the interaction/relation with local
ambassadors (where exist) and if it should be expressed in the "What is
required of Campus Ambassadors?" part.

Just one last thought, perhaps we should find a way to enforce the part of
what do they get just in case someone is expecting this is a regular (paid)
job. The Sun CA's get paid, but that's another ballgame.  Just an idea, I
don't really think of something better at this moment.

Hope this could help

Hello,

Well, as Alejandro said, I believe it could be a fantastic innitiative,
but... At least if it comes about Poland, there are let's call it SIGs on
campuses here, inter alia those related to Linux. What my concern is, how to
connect the both groups and how to cooperate with them. Because by then we
would be the only distribution which has such project running on campuses.
Of course it would be a kind of honor to be part of such innitiative... my
doubt is if it wouldn't be duplication of work, and you know, these voices
that we're trying to make our own way of promoting Open Source... :)
Althouth by then we could be the pace setting side ones, and that could be
the fantastic side... ;) I hope you know what I mean :D

Cheers,
Pawel

The way I see a Fedora Campus Ambassador's role ...

... they represent Fedora _inside_ of other campus groups -- IEEE,
SIGs, LUGs, etc.

... they coordinate with _other_ Fedorans (Ambassadors, other
contributors) to be part of existing events.

... they present Fedora at existing events.

... they start new events in coordination with other FLOSS groups and
Fedora contributors in the area.

In this way, they do not replace existing Fedora or FLOSS efforts.
Instead, Campus Ambbassadors add to those efforts.

Hmm, yeah, I know what you mean. In fact, it's the same role as Ambassadors
are supposed to play, but, hmm, right, there might be no Ambassadors at
campus while there're some Ambassadors even in the same city. I'd describe
the role of Campus Ambassadors as "activization of academic community" ;)

I had the same thought when I read an early draft of that page, and we
added this bullet:

#  Collaborate and coordinate with other Fedora presence on/near your
   campus

That includes other Ambassadors.

Sometimes there aren't Ambassadors near, but there may be other
contributors or participants.  I personally expect a Campus Ambassador
to coordinate with any and all Fedorans in the area, not as a
replacement but as an additive force.

Hi,

This would really help the whole fedora ideology and really help spread the
work. We have google ambassadors, microsoft student partners who  really
spread the shit technology around. So why not have our open source reps all
around. mozilla has also added campus reps to its programs. I am ready to
help you in spreading the word across pakistan. Am already a mozilla rep.
Was a microsoft rep till i realized where the real computing was done on
this side of the crowd :)

It is a great program, already on negotiations with my former career
director to implement it on campus, we do have a great chance of approval,
I´ll give you my impressions by then.

That's why I joined the ambassadors project. I am student and i would like
to bring the open-souce spirit to my campus. There are two big universities
here in my city in Brazil, and both have computer cience course. I know that
there is already an iniciative from some students who created an small
open-source comunity here, but i've never talk to them (until now). So, I'm
too waiting for the activation of this mailing list.

PS: Sorry for the bad english. It has been a long time that I dont
practice...

Hi again,

Just checked with some big links in the academic sector in my country.
Such an initiative is more than welcomed to Pakistan. Also my uni
IBA(iba.edu.pk) is ready to support the open-source movement in our
country. We are already working on some initiatives related to java,
php, mysql, apache and the mono project. Also redhat is already being
used in most of the labs also being a fedora rep i have spread the
word about fedora to some extent that the business management students
who are not really very techy are using fedora as they are sick of
viruses or some liked openoffice and shifted to it. 90% of my campus
already uses firefox. so we would love the pizzas in our labs late in
the nights just before the project submission date ;)
I am also more interested coz till now all the focus in this region
has been in india and here we are not rally able to get hold of the
free media. Till now i have distributed the media through downloading
and creating multiple copies

Please update me how i can help to spread the opensource word in
Pakistan which is an emerging market with 17million internet users.

I'd love to be alive the day we will be using Fedora or RHEL on campuses
here in Poland. Where I'm studying now (Warsaw University of Technology),
they use (and so we're made to use this s*it) Solaris... :/ As I've
mentioned in my last mail, we have some SIGs related to Linux at
universities here, but at least if it comes about my university, they don't
seem to act a lot as I haven't heard of any of their innitiatives so far.
But, for contrast, I've seen some announcment related to M$ (invitation for
"Microsoft's technology fans" or something like this) somewhere in a hall.
But I'm pretty sure that if it's managed to be run, there would be some
feedback to this project. I'll be looking forward how the things evolve at
the project's website :)

Cheers and good luck,
Pawel

I would gladly help get this initiative off the ground in my area.
There are numerous colleges in my area that I have already done Fedora
presentations at or plan to in the near future so I already have
inside contacts, so this would just be an extension of what I am
already currently doing.

Look forward to the activation of the mailing list and participating in this.

As a point of clarification -- and I don't see it on the wiki (and I may
have missed it or it may not need to be there) -- I am assuming that those
who are already ambassadors who are not college students/faculty and who
live in college towns -- for example, yours truly in Santa Cruz, or David
Nalley in Clemson (not that I'm volunteering him, heh heh) -- can serve as
campus ambassadors if they fulfill the obligations outlined on the wiki.
True?

The reason I ask is that I'm not attending school in the spring (long story,
due partially to my FOSS/Fedora activities), but I can easily serve as a
campus ambassador at the college I attended (and at which I formed a LUG a
couple of years ago), at least until a student/faculty member shows a
willingness to take the reins.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. Feel free to throw it out if it's
been asked and answered.

I think the Campus Ambassador Program is a great idea. If only it were a
year ago and I could participate.
