Hi,
Hi!
I recently realized that a new badge[1] for people who ran a in
Fedora
Classroom, but I see that classes have not been held since 2011.
Probably we need to rethink this a little bit.

It's just because people are busy. It's the general issue with volunteer
based projects :/
Eduardo Echeverría (aka echevemaster) has the idea of having virtual
classrooms relying primarily on video. This bring me to mind classes
Coursera or edX-like. It's called Fedora College and it's under
active
development[2].
Isn't moodle good enough[1]? I've seen it being used by quite a few
universities. It's available in the repositories too[2]. (It's generally
better to use an existing, tested platform. It limits the burden to
infra only, instead of infra + development.)
My idea is: both this IRC classes project and College can be
complemented rather than blocking each other. I wonder what the
community think. Is worth to start this again? Are there enough
people
willing to help? Let's try to get these questions answered.
We could probably use a platform that lets us put up both irc and video
lessons. I haven't looked at fedora-college yet.
I'll help with infra and lessons. However, this depends on the free
cycles I get, as always :)
