[edit] TOS Ambassadors Goals

  • Represent Teaching Open Source (TOS) to the wider public
  • Help spread the word about open source and free software in higher education, especially at academic conferences
  • Be a point of contact for others in your institution and channel the feedback to the TOS community

Our goal: To have a TOS Ambassador present - and presenting at - every higher education conference in the world.

[edit] How to contribute

[edit] How to add an event

First, add an entry to the table. Here is the template syntax to copy-paste in. 

|-
| [http://url-of-event.edu Short-name-of-event]
| YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD
| Country, State, City, Host School (if applicable)
| <!-- Point person add your name here -->
| <!-- Attendees add names here -->
| [[Short-name-of-event]] <!-- this will create a new wiki page -->

Save the page. You will see a new entry in the table; the rightmost field should have a link to a new wiki page for TOS planning for the event. Click that to create the page, and write whatever notes about the event you think people should know.

Example content you may want to list:

  • Link to call for proposals
  • Deadlines for call for proposals
  • Any talks, BoFs, etc. that might be of interest to TOS folk

Then email the TOS mailing list about the new event listing.

That's it!

[edit] How to run point for an event

  1. If the event is not listed yet, add it.
  2. If nobody is listed as point person on the calendar, add your name in the appropriate place in the table. Make sure that you leave some way of getting in touch with you (linking your name to your userpage and having your email listed on your userpage is usually a good method).
  3. Email the TOS mailing list that you will be the point person attending this event, and ask for help/participants/ideas for what you might do and who you might meet, talk to, etc.
  4. Plan for the event.
  5. Attend the event and stun everybody with your awesomeness, along with the wonderfulness of TOS.
  6. After the event, blog your reflections on the event on the TOS planet. (Remind everyone else at the event to do this too.)
  7. Send a summary of what happened - linking to individuals' blog posts if possible - to the TOS mailing list.
  8. That's it!

[edit] How to attend an event

  1. If the event is not listed yet, add it.
  2. If the event does not have a point person, make yourself point person.
  3. Add your name to the attendees section of the table of the event you are attending.
  4. Contact the point person for that event and let them know your current plans, and ask what else is happening and how to communicate with the others who will be going.
  5. Plan for the event with the help of the point person for the event.
  6. Attend the event and stun everybody with your awesomeness, along with the wonderfulness of TOS.
  7. After the event, blog your reflections on the event on the TOS planet.
  8. That's it!

[edit] What can I talk about?

"But I don't teach open source yet!" You might be doing it already, actually. Here are some things you may already be doing that are Teaching Open Source, but sometimes not recognized as such.
