I was not asking that your school should host another event. POSSE NG took place at your school and UniOsun. And that's all about it. I was rather pitching a potential partnership between Mozilla and your school. @ToS members: When we had POSSE NG (http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_Nigeria), I made sure the participants contributed back to one or more projects belonging to the sponsor, Mozilla. ANd the projects were the FirefoxOS and Firefox translations - http://mozilla.locamotion.org/yo/. We are now planning POSSE GH (Ghana) and/or POSSE KY (Kenya) and the sponsor, this time around, is Red Hat. I have been butting head with the other instructors about what projects to contribute to. I could get the participants to contribute to a Fedora package (i.e. develop one ground up or update an existing one). But I don't know what package would be a good choice. This is the reason I am contacting the ToS members. We would appreciate it if the community could share some tips, comments and suggestions w.r.t. it.
