Hi There Campus Ambassadors

[Remy DeCausemaker]

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? :)

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?

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.
