RIT pitches in on OLPC project
The Fedora OLPC project seems to have found a friend at Rochester Institute of Technology[1]. Fedora Ambassador Karlie Robinson contacted RIT professor Stephen Jacobs and discussed the project, which spurred Jacobs' interest in doing a class around the XO.
Robinson brought Jacobs up to speed on what Fedora is doing around the XO[2], where Fedora is providing XOs to those who will do development work. The deal revolved around getting XOs for Jacobs classroom in exchange for the RIT students working on Greg DeKoenigsberg's 4th Grade Math project[3].
So RIT students got XOs and the project got some more help.
Fedora at Sam Houston State University
Adam Miller gave his first tech talk as a Fedora Ambassador, presenting to the student organization at Sam Houston State University's "Sam Houston Association for Computer Scientist" (SHACS for short). Adam introduced his fellow classmates to the wonders of Free/Open Source Software, Linux, and most notably, Fedora.
