Study Abroad with a Fedora twist
by Mel Chua 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Just had a thought - something Ambassadors typically *can't* do, but campus ambassadors may be able to do far more easily. Ambassador Exchange Programmes. One thing I've seen come up time and time again is the communication gap between different language/geo subcommunities in Fedora - most people from EMEA can't read the Spanish-language LATAM lists, people in LATAM don't know what's happening in APAC because they can't understand IRC channels in Chinese, folks from APAC can't afford to fly to NA events, and so on... Some folks already try to bridge these various subcommunities, which is fantastic. We need more! It would be great if we could do a cultural/linguistic exchange between geographies to grow the number of people who have relationships that straddle both sides. The trouble is that it's it's tough for an Ambassador with a job and a family to uproot him/herself to go volunteer on the other side of the world for 6 months. It's a lot easier for a student to do it; in fact, there are tons of credit-granting programs for it that are actively encouraged by our schools. It's called Study Abroad. What if we used this as an opportunity to expand not just our own cultural/linguistic horizons, but that of the local Fedora community we come from, and the one we're going to? I'm not sure what this means or where it could go, and haven't thought this through that much - but wanted to toss it out there for feedback/thoughts/criticism. Also, what *other* resources do students have access to that most Ambassadors do not? Access to facilities is the only other thing that comes to mind right now. Just braindumping. :) --Mel

Hi, my name is Anissa FAKHFAKH (a girl). I'm a new Campus Ambassador of Fedora. I am Teaching at ISET Charguia: http://www.isetch.rnu.tn, Tunisia. I started a club for Fedora, we already had our first event: Fedora 12 Release Party, with the help a couple of Ambassadors, Zied FAKHFAKH and Nihed MBAREK. We had already a private mirror, we plan to start contributing early 2010. I hope we can share experiences, promote Fedora, and elevate our courses by Fedora. Kind regards, Anissa.
