Hi, my name is Anissa FAKHFAKH (a girl). I'm a new Campus Ambassador of Fedora. I am Teaching at ISET Charguia: http://www.isetch.rnu.tn, Tunisia. I started a club for Fedora, we already had our first event: Fedora 12 Release Party, with the help a couple of Ambassadors, Zied FAKHFAKH and Nihed MBAREK. We had already a private mirror, we plan to start contributing early 2010. I hope we can share experiences, promote Fedora, and elevate our courses by Fedora. Kind regards, Anissa.

Jump-starting the Campus Ambassador program
by Larry Cafiero 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hey, all -- There's a discussion currently in #fedora-ambassadors around the Campus Ambassadors program. If I recall correctly Jack Aboutboul started this before his departure from RH. From the look of things -- and I hope no one takes offense here if I'm mistaken -- it appears that the project is dormant. If this program needs a jump-start to get going again: -- could interested parties meet in #fedora-campusamb to discuss where this can go, and -- could we discuss this at the next FAmNA meeting and could interested parties in their regions (EMEA, LATAM, APAC, etc.) discuss it in theirs, and -- if I'm not usurping anyone's authority (like THAT never happens . . . :-) ), I'd like to marshall this project back to activity, unless an actual student would like to take the reins in their particular region. Thanks. Larry Cafiero

SFD in NTU (Singapore)
by Qi Yang Er 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi all, Thought I would like to drop an email on this. The open source society in NTU (that's my campus) is organising a series of activities this coming Friday (18 September) for SFD. Unfortunately, I am currently away from campus for the whole semester, and would not be able to take part in any of it, or to help out in any way. Nonetheless, I noticed on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Campus_Ambassadors#Current_Campus_Ambassadors, that there is a new campus ambassador (*Chitpaseuth<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Dolphin> * (dolphin)) from my campus as well, (though I do not recall seeing his introduction on the mailing list, nor see his name on the list of ambassador). Curiously though, I do not even see his name in the mailing list. I could attempt to get more information from the organiser, and perhaps post an event summary/report here, but I was thinking, perhaps if he is really in the mailing list, he would be in a better position to post some information up here for sharing. =) -- Regards, Qiyang

Hello
by Steven Meyer 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hi, My name is Steven Meyer, and I thought I'd introduce myself. I still remember the day my dad first introduced me to Linux, and my first Distro was called Fedora (Core at the time). I remember the strange feeling, the feeling of everything working as it should. It was fast, with lots of free open source software, and no blue screens of death. Years later I still use Fedora, and I am attached to it. The thing was, at the time I really wasn't very technically inclined. I was a regular gamer, CS and HL were great, but all I knew was the Power/Reset button and Windows. Years later I still dont know everything, but at least Im making an active effort to learn everything I can. I'm a programmer, a gamer, a Linux user. Heres my link " https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Smeyer" Im working on my wiki page now. Don't worry if its a bit sparse!

Self-Introduction: Mel Chua
by Mel Chua 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

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! --Mel

Hello all
by Adam Miller 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hello fellow Campus Ambassadors, My name is Adam Miller, I'm a Campus Ambassador at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX. I recently graduated with my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and I am starting my Masters Degree in Computer Science this Fall. I'm currently a Fedora Packager/Developer, I've held a couple talks on campus in the past semester, and I've gotten some positive feedback from new users who are interested in contributing some code (once we can sort out some organizational bits). When I first put my name on the Campus Ambassador wiki page this mailing list didn't exist so I am happy to see that the project is starting to move forward. So hello to all and I hope we are able to make much more progress as we continue to move forward with promoting Fedora on Collegiate Campuses. Are there any current agenda items we want to start working on or hashing out in terms of future plans, some sort of collaboration efforts for semi-synchronized talks in terms of calendar time as well as content? Ideas and information of previously defined items are welcome, just excited to get things going. -Adam -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Introducing myself
by Giuseppe Coviello 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hi all, I'm Giuseppe Coviello, I study Computer Science at University of Naples "Parthenope". Since I joined fedora ambassadors group, some months ago, I'm acting like a campus ambassador: I have a "fedora" pins on my bag, I recommend to try fedora to those who ask me which distribution they should use, I try to help people having troubles with fedora (and with other distribution too), they know that if they have some question about fedora they can ask them to me. On 18 June 2008 I organized, in occasion of the fedora 11 release, a conference about fedora in my faculty; Gianluca Varisco (who parteciped to the conference) wrote a report on the conference: http://www.techtemple.org/2009/06/26/fedora-11-release-party-in-naples-ital… Regards, Giuseppe
