Thanks Joe,
Nice to connect. And absolutely. We should consider IRC.
Let´s see what other people are thinking so we can agree based on the preference of the majority.
Anyone else prefers IRC instead of Hangouts?
Also maybe we should post this information somewhere central, Is there a Wiki page?
Look forward to collaborating. :-)
Cesar

I emailed this to the outreach list only, so may I ask why are we emailing this to the ambassadors list? I certainly didn't include this list on my initial email. (who broke protocol first? hehe)HOWEVER:You might remember my original "question" was around measuring and metrics... the FACT is that those programs are held under the "outreach" and are presently INACTIVE. Joerg's suggestion was to join outreach. which I did.He was also kind enough to reach out to me in IRC, which I appreciated.Moreover: I am acting on a prompt from Matthew Miller to try to reactivate the program.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
2 points from your note :
- agenda for kickoff : what have we have planned for session? Here is my suggested agenda.
* what is outreach? Define higher level goals for program.
* brainstorming : what are the top 10 prios we should focus on achieving?
* action + timeline : what 3 things we will focus on and by when.I could prepare some slides to help set the stage.
- google hangouts, why?
I like hangouts because we can save sessions in youtube and easy for people to follow monthly discussions.
Are you affected by issue of flash? Maybe you can join in an android mobile device?
Alternatively I could always setup my red hat bluejeans bridge? We can also record there and that sure works on RHEL CSB.
Do we count you in as a founding member of outreach 2.0? :)
Cheers

A solid outreach program is for sure a key strategic initiative for
Fedora. It helps us showcase the wonderful community that is the Fedora
Project and brings in new contributors and users.

While I don't know what you have planned, exactly, for this kickoff -
using google hangout might bar some people from participating due to the
need for flash. I don't know if it's a huge deal, but it's something to
consider. Alternate methods of communications depends on how and what
information you want to showcase - so sorry for not providing an
alternative :(
