I miss any reason why someone from Mexico should go to Los Angeles, there is no clear outsight on networking resulting in local/regional activity, I see no representation of the project, I see no efforts (or reports of that) about contacting people out there ... Maybe that all is available, but until then ... - 1[ Sorry for replying to my own mail ;-) ] Reading / looking through all the replies, it is obvious that there is some good work to do for Alexandro, and more people ... I appreciate that the discussion brings some possibilities, links from the past, ideas from the future, so I hope that is will be possible to build something from the presence there! Telling about the education project could be one thing. I remember your presentation in Orvieto, Alexandro. It was full of ideas, but not so specific. It looks like a container of wishes for the next decade(s) or so ;-) To be really attractive, it might be shorter, more practical?
Well of course, the Education project is considered a "Young/Incubator" project so most things are still on it's way and planned. There is an ONG backing it up with EducOO and there is some real work happening on some areas of education including OOo4Kids (http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/) and Efforts. But some are still being developed like the "CampusLibre" project.
The goal of the presentation was giving exposure to the whole Education project so it couldn't be very practical. I am not sure that showing a fancy graph with the internal organization and processes would be very enlightning or attractive to someone that want to join the project. Instead I gave an overal roundup on areas where they wanted to participate and if they thought it was a good idea or not. Most of the wishlist did include starting a project in their locality because WE NEED FUNDING. So yes, wishful thinking means ... once we get resources we can do X or Y.
Do we, as marketing project, have some info to help when you walk there? A sort of "hey: we really want to start a local group here, do you like to help, this is what we have and what you could do.."-sheets ?!
I am sure some material would be useful, certainly we have our own material, but we could use if there is anything available. So far I havent seen much out except for the FOSDEM Logo which I didnt really like as much.
Also, the presentation that we prepare for FOSDEM might be good for such an event as well? So my "+ 1" definitely is on its way ;-) Is it possible for you to keep track of all the possibilities that passed here (and maybe follow later on) and see what can be made out of it and report back? Would be great! And if you need any help ...
Not sure what you mean, I will only participate on the CFP for education which is the one available. Other activity is networking and recruiting.
