Self-Introduction: Mel Chua
by Mel Chua
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!
