Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Viorel. Curious, did you also have any ideas on ways that non-academic professionals in academic settings can contribute? I'm assuming this might be like a system administrator at a school, or a similar type of position.
I'll have to start with a disclaimer: These are my personal thoughts and do not represent the views of my employer.
I do believe that we need to educate the young generation about the values of open source and as a professional (I'm not sure if that's a term used across all educational institutions or only at AU) I can do that by connecting the academic and professional open source advocates with the community [1] and by sharing resources as I come across them [2]. Where Fedora could come in is by being *the* platform to make this happen: technically, socially and culturally -- more than just a Fedora Ansible-ized OpenStack lab. The logistics of how to get there is what most of us technical people may be missing.
The links you shared to Athabasca University's pages were awesome to read about. :) These are exactly the kinds of things I think we as a community should be supporting and helping grow.
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!

Hi all,
I've had a meeting with my college and they gave me a thumbs up for organizing events in our college. I've discussed thing more in general, thing like what is fedora, what we do etc. I am planning with them to organize for now at least one activity per month. They have also asked are there any other ways they can help in this process.
@Justin they addressed one question regarding marketing, is it ok if we share a banner with Fedora's logo and their logo too ? the case would be in roll up banners.
I will be organizing my first event with them on Tuesday for Google Summer of Code, and how the process would be to apply to Fedora.
Kindly, Ardian.

This is awesome news! Nice work opening the conversation with your university. If you haven't already, I would bring this up in an EMEA meeting or in a ticket to make sure you can help get the support and guidance of others in your region as well.
@Justin they addressed one question regarding marketing, is it ok if we share a banner with Fedora's logo and their logo too ? the case would be in roll up banners.
As far as logo usage goes, you'll want to take that up with Fedora Legal. I would drop an email to logo@fedoraproject.org and explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, and what context the logo will be used around.
I will be organizing my first event with them on Tuesday for Google Summer of Code, and how the process would be to apply to Fedora.
Guess that's today! Best of luck with the event, and hope all goes well! If you need any help or advice at the event, feel free to drop a line in IRC. If I'm online, I'd be glad to help remotely in any way I can.
Again, nice work in putting this together with your university!

Just a short update on this. The event went smooth, will work on a blog post, and have it for the next meeting.

Yes definitely, lets see in the next meeting.
