I completely agree with the points you mentioned. However, when it comes to finding ways to deploy and implement this in schools, I'm definitely not an expert nor will I act like I am. Perhaps Remy could chime in on this specifically because it definitely is within his realm of expertise from his time at RIT. I think this thread in itself could make a good topic for the next CommOps meeting! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Hey Neville, Thanks for chiming in on this topic. I definitely agree that getting teachers and academic faculty involved as Campus Ambassadors is a crucial and important dynamic. Like you noted, there is a much larger window for how long the faculty member can impact youth and introduce a new generation to Linux and Fedora. I'm trying to think of a way to frame this within the current draft on the wiki, but I'm thinking maybe it becomes a two-pronged rewrite. There could be a section for students and another section for teachers / faculty to get involved as Campus Ambassadors. My concerns are whether it would be confusing to keep the students in the same mailing list / agenda planning as faculty members. Both students and faculty may need resources unique from one another in terms of guidance or strategical planning for events. What do you all think about adding the faculty dynamic to the Campus Ambassadors rewrite? -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

[Campus Ambassadors] Proposed wiki rewrite

15 Feb '16

Hello all, Recently, in FAmNA, we have been discussing a proposed way to revitalize the Campus Ambassadors program. https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/123 To help finalize the process, I have put together a new draft of the Campus Ambassadors wiki page. It would be great to have others' ideas, thoughts, and feedback about the rewrite. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jflory7/Scratchpad/Campus_Ambassadors Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W.

Dear List Members, My name is Peter Bojtos. I'm working for a hungarian IT company and I'm leading the development of an educational Linux distribution called SuliX. It is based on Fedora, so I'm interested in the educational section. (It is a long story: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=sulix ) I hope I can learn a lot and help a lot as well. I think it is important to give back to the community as much as possible. Cheers, Peter
