If you're interested, feel free to add your name to the Members section of the University SIG [2] wiki. I don't see why grad students can't join as well :)
As of now, I don't think there is a set "agenda" for the SIG to focus on. I believe around next week we will focus on figuring out the best way to communicate with one another, and come up with a roadmap.
Afaik, the main goal at this point is to make Fedora more accessible and friendly towards students and courses. This may mean updating documentation, packaging software used in university courses, and everything in between :)

Hello everyone,
This is a follow-up email for some "coffee discussions" we had at flock a few weeks ago. Sorry for the delay!
The Fedora community contains a lot of university students, many of us packaging tools for their courses and acting as first-level Linux support for the local student community. The problems we encounter and work on are not identical but share a common base: it only makes sense to collaborate.
We found (over a few flock coffee breaks) 5-6 fedorans interested in joining such an initiative and are currently creating a SIG as a mean to communicate. We haven't decided on anything yet, except that we would like to work together to make Fedora an accessible platform for student and courses in an university context. We expect overlapping interests and collaboration with others SIGs, especially if related to the academic world such as NeuroFedora or ML.
We are aware of the dormant Education SIG [1] but have yet to discuss how to position - or integrate - ourselve.
A slightly more detailed description can be found on the related wiki page [2]. I invite you to add your name to its members section you're interested to work with us. We will figure out communication and coordination mediums around next week.

Hi Timothée,
I think this is a great initiative! Maybe it's a bit early to ask, but I'm curious what sort of projects you see a SIG focusing on?
(If grad students would be welcome here too, I might be interested. :) )
