Gnome Uni

Hi guys,
All this talk about Toronto university gave me an idea to market Gnome
in colleges. My idea is to set up a web of universality contacts to act
as a liaison and speakers to talk about Gnome to raise awareness. I made
a quick wiki page http://live.gnome.org/GnomeUni feel free to add your
ideas to it. So what are your thoughts?

Regards
Shane Fagan

Hi Shane,

Great. Thanks for getting this going!

I was thinking. Perhaps we could add some of the speakers from the GNOME speakers page and then send it out to some university folks. For example, the HFOSS.org folks worked with GNOME last summer and they have a lot of university contacts. Also there's a few mailing lists like TOS - teaching open source[1] - where we could announce this.

Brian Cameron suggested that you also mention this on the GNOME Academia mailing list (I had forgotten we had one - it's not very active with only 5 mails this year but perhaps there's people on it that would be interested in helping.) You could also add a link to the GnomeUni wiki page from their wiki page.

I have linked from the Academia wiki page to the GnomeUni page. So my

Once you get a few GNOME folks, maybe you could send mail to a couple
of mailing lists like Teaching Open Source.
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/TeachingOpenSource_Mailing_List

To get more GNOME folks, perhaps it'd be appropriate to email the
GNOME Foundation list? What do the other marketing folks think?

Or blog about it on Planet GNOME ...

I'm sure there are similar initiatives downstream (e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora,
etc). It might be a good idea to ask on their mailing lists, if some of
the people involved would be interested in joining the upstream
initiative, too.

So that we don't duplicate efforts, perhaps for speakers, you could
just point to this page, http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents/Speakers.
And then you could list universities and professors that are open to
guest speakers on the GNOME Uni page.
