#523: Could we please have a badge series for community members that instruct Fedora classroom sessions? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: ankursinha | Status: new Type: | Keywords: New badge idea | classroom, instructor Priority: | Has a description: 0 minor | Artwork status: None Has a name: | External requirements: 0 | Triaged (triagers only): 0 Concept approved (reviewers only): | 0 | Badge definition status: | None | Manually awarded: | 0 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Badge description (like "You added a co-maintainer to a package. BFF!"):

"You taught people something! Yoda!" (or something like that? :D)

Help the badges team understand what this idea is all about. If this badge is awarded for certain kinds of activities: 1) What are those activities?

Instructing Fedora classroom sessions, to begin with over the IRC: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom

2) Who is doing them (are they packagers? translators? newcomers? veterans? users? sponsors?)

Anyone from the community really. A classroom session can aim to teach anything at all.

3) Why are they doing them (is this a means to a different end?)

To help more people learn skills, and as a result improve participation in various teams.

4) When do they do them (every day? once a year?)

We don't have a schedule yet, but we'll like to have regular classroom sessions - maybe fortnightly if I can cajole enough people to instruct them. Badges would be a nice reward :)

5) How do they do them (by talking in IRC? by running commands in the console? by using a web interface?)

At the moment, we're resurrecting the programme over IRC, since this worked in the past. In the future, we'll look to also include other technologies, but this is a WIP (Classroom v2)

Lastly, do you have any ideas for artwork concepts? A panda scribbling on a chalk board? A yoda panda? A smug professor types panda?

(Similarly, a badge for community members that attend these sessions would also be awesome :))
