Hey, all --
There's a discussion currently in #fedora-ambassadors around the Campus Ambassadors program. If I recall correctly Jack Aboutboul started this before his departure from RH. From the look of things -- and I hope no one takes offense here if I'm mistaken -- it appears that the project is dormant.
If this program needs a jump-start to get going again:
-- could interested parties meet in #fedora-campusamb to discuss where this can go, and
-- could we discuss this at the next FAmNA meeting, and
-- if I'm not usurping anyone's authority (like THAT never happens . . . :-) ), I'd like to marshall this project back to activity, unless an actual student would like to take the reins.

That appears to be an accurate assessment.

Not to dissuade you, but perhaps #fedora-ambassadors might be a bit better, more eyes, fewer channels to join. That said, feel free to ignore me, as I am not doing the work.
-- could we discuss this at the next FAmNA meeting, and
Have you added it to the agenda??

No one is doing the work, so there's no authority to usurp. Please push this forward!!! I appreciate you grabbing the reins!
As far as the campus ambassador project at large, I can somewhat agree that it is stagnant but myself and a couple other campus ambassadors are, and have been, pushing forward down here in the trenches. That being said, it would be great to have structure and some leadership. Many thanks for not only bringing this up but also volunteering to lead the charge. If there is any help I can offer, please let me know.

Hi, Larry ! Hi, All!
I missed IRC chats last week but it's great that you passed message trough mail list. Where can I read transcript or whatever additional info about Campus Ambassadors program?
I am university teacher (CS dept. Chernigiv Dtate Technological University, Ukraine) and we have a lot of ideas and a lot of work planed to promoute free software in Ukrainian higher education. We founded University Linux Competence Center that helps university teachers and students in adaptation of teaching process to Linux free software. We have more then 50 active students in our team.
27. Nov. we have a little conference in Chernigiv Dtate Technological University plus Linux install fest and planning a lot of activities. Fedora is widely useed at our CS dept. so Fedora 12 will be show star :) And we are planning a lot of other activities so we're looking for partner universities from EU, especially regarding to "TEMPUS" EU Commission project where we have good experience of last 3 years. CSTU officials are wery positive to our initiatives and support ULCC.
As you can see, I am very interested in Fedora and RH programs aimed to educatgion. In my opinion, education is key to technology promotion.
PS. Unfortunately, our sites do not contain yet much info in English, but anyway it could be interesting, English pages of ULCC is in progress.
