You can find that ticket and the requisite files associated with it here: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/405 Right now, the "resources" section does not match directly to the "outcomes" section, so we're reworking the content within the .ods spreadsheet attached to the ticket. We're hoping to have not just the content, but the layout for the EDU Initiative's Logic Model Completed by November. We're working to create something re-usable, like a template, so that moving forward, objectives have a common planning/budgeting process, as well as a common framework for displaying and explaining/conveying an Objective's inputs and outputs. > > - I'm also very open to learning new things and acquiring new skills, > > particularly in terms of marketing in an open-source project > > Cool, I think you don't need any explanation about the content > creation, so if you wanna know more about the world around the > magazine, please refer to these pages [1][2] > > I see you already joined our IRC channel, so nothing else to say except > that we have a ticketing system for assign tasks [3], feel free to file > a ticket for requests. > > At the moment we're working on the tasks in order to be ready for the > next fedora release [4]. Yes, this is def the place where we can use the most help. You've been following the commops/mktg thread about the release announcement, but that is somewhere you can def help. We've forked the Beta Release Announcement, and it still needs much polish and input: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F23_release_announcement > > I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something important, but if you have any > question, you can ask in the IRC channel. > > [cut] > > > I'm very interested in working with someone to > > organize events not only at RIT, but possibly at other schools in the > > area. > > > > On that note, I haven't been able to find any official planning area > > for > > work being done on this Initiative, so I was also curious to where > > planning or discussion is mostly happening for this initiative. See above ticket with design team and Logic Model :) There is also the EDU objective page on the wiki, if you'd like to add to that: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives/University_Involvement_Initiative > > > > I am very happy to be a part of this awesome project and the > > community > > that surrounds it.
