Hi,
I have several questions regarding campus ambassador programme which
we currently have online at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Campus_Ambassadors. A local college
asking me about it , and how they can get their students to be
involved.
1) Do we have any defined guideline on how an Ambassador should
manage/guide Campus Ambassadors? What we should do, etc.? As colleges
and students might expect some sort of clear information on what their
students and the college itself can benefit out of it, outline of the
programme, etc.
This program isn't officially launched yet and we (the ambassador
community) should set up a meeting to discuss launching it soon. There
is a lot of interest in participating in it around the world.
I'll task myself with organizing a meeting and announcing it so we can
talk about these issues. It has been on my to-do list for a while now.
2) Regarding some of benefits for the Campus Ambassadors:
# Stipends for running an event (pizza, soda, etc.)
# Schwag to give out at events and a cool exclusive Campus Ambassadors, t-shirt
# Earn a trip to FUDCon!!!
These 3 benefits involves money (especially the final one). Malaysia
ambassadors have been moving mainly on our own cost for the past 2
years, so we might need more support in term of ease to acquire swags
/ stipends if we want to start supporting Campus Ambassador program
for local colleges and students. As for "Earn a trip to FUDCon", are
there any particular requirement before a particular Campus Ambassador
is eligible for it?
We don't have funding or arrangements made for any swag currently. So
I don't know how this will shake out. We likely will regionalize it
and budget things for each region from that region's ambassador
funding I would guess. Maybe someone else has a different idea about
that?
