I'm a grad student working on my PhD in the Engineering Education department of Purdue University. My research focuses on the space between how hackers learn and how engineers are taught - in other words, how to make college classrooms more like open source projects. This page describes the Fedora-related projects I'm working on. Feel free to contact me with any comments, questions, or ideas you might have. (more detailed bio)

- My braindumps - Thoughts in progress that are not yet fully formed or ready to go to main wiki. Probably inaccurate, half-baked, or some combination of the two. You have been warned.
- /Templates - things I've made that may be useful for wiki-users.
- /Sandbox - for playing with wiki syntax.
- /Newcomer convo - an example of a student's first IRC chat.
[edit] Interests
I come to Fedora via my work at OLPC, where my interest in community-based QA and support began. As someone with an (electrical and computer) engineering background with a passion for self-directed learning, my strongest interest is in bridging the worlds of undergraduate and graduate education (particularly for engineering and business) and open-source practice. In addition to hacking code and hardware, I also enjoy building university-based programs, running (and speaking and teaching at) conferences, unconferences, and hackathons, wrangling wiki pages, mailing lists, documentation, and curricula, and whatever else it takes to get the job done. I spent 2.5 years at Red Hat as a member of the Community Leadership Team focused on both Fedora and education outreach, which took the form of working with the Teaching Open Source community.
[edit] Current goals and projects
No big Fedora projects at the moment - but I'm open to ideas. ;-)
[edit] Older goals and projects
- Red Hat's education strategy. Specifically, driving the Professors' Open Source Summer Experience program, and getting university-level classes from various academic disciplines involved in Fedora as part of that.
- my tickets on marketing trac
- my tickets on infrastructure trac
- my bugzilla tickets
