Hello everyone,
This is a follow-up email for some "coffee discussions" we had at flock a
few weeks ago. Sorry for the delay!
The Fedora community contains a lot of university students, many of us
packaging tools for their courses and acting as first-level Linux support
for the local student community. The problems we encounter and work on are
not identical but share a common base: it only makes sense to collaborate.
We found (over a few flock coffee breaks) 5-6 fedorans interested in joining
such an initiative and are currently creating a SIG as a mean to
communicate. We haven't decided on anything yet, except that we would like
to work together to make Fedora an accessible platform for student and
courses in an university context. We expect overlapping interests and
collaboration with others SIGs, especially if related to the academic world
such as NeuroFedora or ML.
We are aware of the dormant Education SIG [1] but have yet to discuss how to
position - or integrate - ourselve.
A slightly more detailed description can be found on the related wiki page
[2]. I invite you to add your name to its members section you're interested
to work with us. We will figure out communication and coordination mediums
around next week.

Cheers,
You most likely don't need a SIG for that, you could just ask for a separate
mailing list to be created for you :)
