Hi All, Just sharing this idea of mine. http://campuscamp.org
The goal is to nurture a culture of sharing within educational institution. Topics are not limited to FOSS, attendees may talk about anything, from hobby, to research papers, to even silly stuff. At least in my region, the sharing culture is not quite there. We tend to end up doing events , giving talks, etc, where the attendees are just consuming, probably try out stuff and use stuff, however does not go beyond that to contributing in some way. Hopefully by getting them to share more, regardless what it is, could make it easier for FOSS groups to find new contributors. More reading on my motivation that started this event: http://blog.kagesenshi.org/2011/11/campuscamp-building-communities-in.html Currently I've got a group of students in one local college to run it, they'll be running it again next march, and at least another 2 groups have expressed interests to run it in their colleges. If anybody else want to run their own version of CampusCamp, please feel free to go ahead. Just inform me beforehand so that I can help out promoting it in our G+ page and blog. follow our G+ page for news/reshares : https://plus.google.com/112275075932602150298 Regards. -- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail / KageSenshi Inigo Consulting (FOSS/Plone Development, Training & Services) http://www.inigo-tech.com Fedora Malaysia Contributor & Ambassador http://blog.kagesenshi.org 92C2 B295 B40B B3DC 6866 5011 5BD2 584A 8A5D 7331 _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
