Hello Meg. I would be interested in finding out more about what would be 
involved. I am currently launching new programs in software engineering and 
computer information systems and would be interested to incorporate new ideas.

Subject: [TOS] College Workshops for GNOME Project

Hi All,

I'm a member of the Board of Directors for the GNOME Foundation. I am working 
on putting together materials for an introductory workshop for college 
students, similar to what OpenHatch had for Open Source Comes to Campus events. 
Since OpenHatch is not currently active, I am looking for an organization we 
can partner with to help coordinate efforts and give feedback on the resources 
we put together for students. Is this something the TOS community would be 
interested in? I noticed that there are already several resources that use 
GNOME, so I hope that such a partnership would also be beneficial to TOS.

Thanks,
Meg Ford

I have a great relationship with Purdue Universitys computer science
department (my alma mater).  i had talked with the head of the computer
science department about an open source class and the idea of having
students work on projects for credit.  If you have training materials
created, we could approach the head and if he can bring in a
professor/instructor of the class it is a possibility to make something
happen.

Hi Meg,

Let me mention two efforts that seem related to what you are interested in:

a) Mozilla has an initiative called “Mozilla Clubs” that is directly related.  
You should contact Lucy Harris and Christos Bacharakis (copied on this email) 
to discuss that effort.  They are currently working on launching clubs in the 
U.S.  Up to this point the clubs have been in other areas of the world.  See:  
https://learning.mozilla.org/en-US/clubs

b) I am part of a team that has been working for some time to help faculty 
teach about humanitarian FOSS.  You can read about that effort here:  
http://foss2serve.org/  We also run a faculty workshop called POSSE and there 
is information about that effort on the same site.  Finally there are a bunch 
of open source related learning activities on the site.

Cheers,

Greg Hislop

Hi Meg,

The OSI was OpenHatch's fiscal sponsor and we very much supported their
work. If you and GNOME are interested in starting up a similar effort,
I expect the OSI would love to help. We also have several Higher Ed
Affiliates, including the RCOS group at RPI. It might make for a good
core group to start.

Let me know,
Patrick
