Hello,
My name is Athos Coimbra Ribeiro. I am a computer science MSc student at
Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil.
I am a packager and LATAM ambassador @ Fedora.
My interest in this group would be towards getting Fedora Project closer
to academic research: we have a lot of students and professors using and
collaborating to Fedora Project, it would be nice to identify them and
get to know what are their research interests, etc.
Hi Athos! Another familiar name. :) Welcome!
Like I said in Alexandre's email, the Campus Ambassadors program is
(unfortunately) a little bit stagnant. There was some planned work to
develop the program further over the summer, but they weren't able to
happen due to a series of complications.
For now, we're slowly collecting a list of students, faculty, and staff
at universities at this wiki page (which you are encouraged to add
yourself to!):

I think academic research is one of the best ways to reach out to
universities, which would also impact both faculty and students. In
terms of faculty, I think there's some other Ambassadors across the
world stationed as faculty and staff at universities, so we could also
try to incorporate them into any future plans for this program.
Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself here. Hope we can help
drive this effort further in coming months. :)
