My name is Remy DeCausemaker, and I'm a new member of the Campus Ambassadors list. I've been lurking around Fedora-land for about 5 years now, in an increasingly involved fashion each year. I've attended the last 3 FUDcons in Toronto and Boston, and spend a lot of time powowing with Luke Macken and Mel Chua (who is probably a real ninja.)
I am the Resident Hacktivist at Rochester Institute of Technology, and we run the FOSS@RIT campaign with the Lab for Technological Literacy and the Center for Student Innovation (http://foss.rit.edu). We just hosted FOSScon here on campus (http://fosscon.org), and will be hosting again next year as well. RIT also just had it's first POSSE ( http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_RIT) which was one of the largest yet!
I'm new to the list, so I want to be sure to be "in the loop" as far as normal IRC meetings for ambassadors, and a way to help all of you (fellow ambassadors) advertise your events, and tell your stories to the community.
Looking forward, --RemyD.
Hi Remy!
Sorry I have been travelling and only recently catching up with e-mail

Wonderful :) I've seen you around a little bit, but had no knowledge of your campus ambassadors interests! Are you a student, still, or an instructor at RIT?

Yes, yes, I've been jealously watching you RIT-folks kick some SERIOUS butt. :) Your campus is a prime example of what we'd like to see campus ambassadors start forming on ALL of their campuses.

Wonderful! I am sure that you have seen our wiki page[1] so you know roughly what is going on. Right now there are no meetings scheduled, but this may be as good a time as any to begin planning meetings. :) Right now, there is really not infrastructure behind CampusAmb right now, though with a few helping hands (*nudge* *nudge* ;) ) it should be fairly easy to lay those foundations.
Feedback on available times for weekly or biweekly Campus Ambassadors meetings? :)
Looking forward, --RemyD.
Best! Ryan

Okai, how does every other Thursday at 9:00 UTC sounds for people? Is that do- able? :) #fedora-meeting-1 is the place. The next meeting will be July 22, if that time works out (not the 15, already have a meeting at that time.)
I'm going to keep harassing people until they show up at these, btw :P
Thoughts? Praises? Cluebats? Ryan

I guess I could show up at those meetings, except for that 9:00 UTC is 4 am where I am. Or did you mean 21:00 UTC? I could make that more often than 4 am. :P

Crap, I always think my SSH host is UTC, that should be about 7:00 UTC... which is still probably prohibitively late, huh... Let's say 21:00 UTC :)

Next Thursday I'll be at OSCON, and 2100 UTC is 1300 (1400?) Pacific Time -- Yeah, I think I can make that from the Fedora booth at OSCON.

Yeah, I think 21:00 UTC will work. Just wondering though, is UTC affected by daylight savings time too or not? Would help to know exactly what time it would be in my timezone.

Ah ok, then it was GMT that is affected by daylight savings time. Thanks for the reminder. So that means....Central time is...16:00....so 4pm. :D Sounds good.
