Here are the things that are planned/true about campus outreach events in the 2011-2012 school year:
 
I will be putting this dazzilng insight to good use in no time.
== Curriculum status ==
 
I think that we did a good job with the Penn curriculum. We should polish it up into something unbearably awesome.
 
== How to get involved ==
 
* Join the [http://lists.openhatch.org/mailman/listinfo/events events mailing list] and say who you are and how you want to contribute. We'll get you plugged in.
 
== Doing a P2PU run ==
Line 26 ⟶ 20:
* Day 21: The ethics and history of the movement; and the economics and licensing that support it.
* Day 28: Getting, modifying, and verifying open source software (getting code; local patching)
* Day 35: Project organization (getting,bug building,trackers; modifyinggit sourceformat-patch; codegithub; people's roles in a project)
* Day 42: Practice contributing to a project
* Day 49: Wrap-up
 
Suggested time-line: New course items get published to P2PU on Tuesdays. We could go by a timeline where day 0 == Nov 15. In that case:
 
>>> import datetime
>>> day_0 = datetime.date(2011, 11, 15)
>>> day_0 + datetime.timedelta(days=35)
datetime.date(2011, 12, 20)
 
The final real lecture would be on December 20, and the "Practice contributing to a project" component would take place right around Christmas, and people could keep doing that for as long as they need/want during winter break.
 
== Probable places we can take the tour ==
 
Part of the plan is to have Asheesh roam the country/world running this course.
 
* 80% probable: Dartmouth, through Hacker Club. Requested date: mid-Jan.
* 80% probable: JHU ACM
 
Possible:
 
* NYU ACM
* CSC Waterloo
* Berkeley, through CSUA and everything else
 
== Possible sponsors ==
Line 43 ⟶ 55:
* WordPress.org?
* Debian's usual funders?
* Ubuntu-ish funders?
* Google RISE?
 
== How to get involved ==
 
* Join the [http://lists.openhatch.org/mailman/listinfo/events events mailing list] and say who you are and how you want to contribute. We'll get you plugged in.
