Looking to completely rebuild their CS curriculum around Open Source.
Talked with many CS professors, lectured at a CS class about OSS and ethics in computing.
Their professor is going to meet with Will Cohen for next steps about how they can incorporate OSS bits into curriculum.

Swag continues to be a horrible bottleneck. Jack needs it for University Tour, but production and distribution is a gigantic time sink and pain in the ass.
ACTION: PaulFrields will continue to work with JeffreyTadlock on Fedora Store stuff.
Greg wants an official way of licensing the Fedora mark.
ACTION: PaulFrields to chat with legal about easy licensing of the mark.
ACTION: Harish will look into something for APAC.

Plumi is getting a lot of buzz internal to RH University.
From Fedora TV perspective, the question is still "who is going to do the work?"
Fedora TV will quickly run into space/resource issues to keep it running.
one possibility is archive.org -- one of the minuses is that there is no "we have our own video site".
no archive.org RPM -- you can't host it yourself.
on the plus side, everything they use is open source.
advantage #2 is the size of their server farm.
they do ogg video, which was the biggest point of going through all of this in the first place.
they have RSS feeds, and they work via Venus (which is the fork of Planet).
