Hurm ... i'm not sure whether this small project of mine can fit in
this somewhere, but i'll mention this anyway :P

<shamelessplug>
I have this little project that have been done several times now,
called CampusCamp (http://campuscamp.org). though its more of a Free
Culture thing rather than Free Software

The idea is to get students to organize their own barcamp in their
campus, to get students/lecturers/staff to give talks, run activities,
and share knowledge in general.

The goal is to hopefully build campus communities through providing a
platform for people to meet up and share stuff regularly (eg: every
academic term). Besides that, we hope to encourage a culture of
sharing and contribution among students/lecturers/staff.

Its more of a Free Culture thing than FOSS though, but of course,
students/lecturers/staff with Fedora/FOSS interest can always slip in
Fedora/FOSS related sessions.

So far 2 campuscamp have been run at my previous university, organized
by my juniors there, and I just got some students to run CampusCamp at
the college which host FUDCon KL sometime after FUDCon KL, and another
group of students from another university to run it at theirs.
