APAC meeting on Saturday December 21 2013 at 0400 UTC
by Ankur Sinha 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hi, Please take out time to attend the APAC meeting this Saturday, December 21 at 0400 UTC[1]. The main agenda is to discuss whatever trac tickets in queue: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-apac/report/9 If you're planning a release party in the near future, you can file a ticket with an idea of your expenditure to get it discussed and hopefully approved this Saturday. Please add the "meeting" keyword to all tickets that you'd like to get discussed so that they are listed in the above mentioned report. Lastly, please attend the meeting if you've filed a ticket for discussion. Ambassadors often have questions and require clarifications on tickets and sometimes a decision cannot be made without these queries being cleared up.

Idea: Fedora to Schools
by Jiri Eischmann 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi, I've got an idea I'd like to propose to other ambassadors. I think someone has already brought this idea up in the mailing list while ago and we discussed it quite thoroughly at the EMEA FAD ten days ago. Educational organizations is an area we should focus on a lot and students and teachers should be one of our main target audiences. I think reasons are pretty obvious: school time is usually when people choose their area of interest in IT. Who of us didn't start with Linux and open source at high school or university? What students interact with and learn at school is what they tend to use in their lives. Students is probably the biggest source of new contributors. Therefore Fedora should be there. What would be the goal of this initiative: Making Fedora more visible at schools, helping teachers and students and making it easier for them to start using Fedora and leverage all its advantages. What is this idea not about: It's not about reviving Fedora Education Spin and Education SIG. The goal is not about creating a special version of Fedora for schools. It should be rather about teaching them how to use the stock Fedora (or the Fedora.Next products in the future) for their school tasks. Because I know projects with big goals die even before they start, I'd like to break it down into several levels we can achieve: 1. creating a list of ambassadors that work/study or just close to universities (I would start with just universities because high or even basic schools are a large target, however I wouldn't explicitly exclude them) and are willing to help students and teachers to start with Fedora, help deploy it. Some kind of campus ambassadors. People then can easily look up if there is any representative of Fedora Project at their university who can help them. 2. Creating and executing agenda for such ambassadors. There are many ways to promote Fedora at schools. Here are some examples from my experience: We go to universities to introduce Fedora to students. For example, one teacher of Brno University of Technology invites us every year to introduce Fedora to his students in Introduction to Programming because he wants them to do their homeworks in C in Linux and many of them don't have an experience with Linux at all and such introduction is very informative for them. It's also a huge opportunity for us to get new users and eventually contributors because the presentation is attended by over 500 students. It would great to build such relationships and do such presentations at more universities. Last Friday, we organized an open source day for talented high school students (part of a larger project for talented students). We spoke about FLOSS in general, but then we picked Fedora Project as an example and introduced it to them and everyone got a flash drive with F20. A few days later, we received a message from one of the students that he spoke with their school admin and they would deploy Fedora in one of their labs and if it works they would convert the rest of the school. So again a small event, but a big opportunity. 3. Sharing best practises how to promote Fedora at universities, creating documentation about deploying Fedora in such environment and using it in education. We have great projects we can offer to them. I've already spoken with several teachers and they for example like the idea of DevAssistant and it could really help them in their courses. 4. Working with other teams within Fedora Project to make sure that Fedora is suitable for usage in educational environment and maybe reviving Education Spin if we find it useful. I know it looks like a large project, but we don't have to implement everything I've written in this email. As I said we can start with a small scope. I would just like to know your feedback. If you find such a project interesting and beneficial for us and you might be able to help because nothing gets done by itself. Jiri
