I wanted to share this, as it was posted to our mailing list.

The deadline is looming for this project, so please feel free to pass on to other FOSS mailing lists.

POSSE is a program of Fedora and Red Hat that will immerse professors in Open Source projects so that they can better teach Open Source development techniques to their students.

Those selected to participate will have their living costs covered for the week.

My own take on this…As FOSS community members we’re beginning to see more personal and corporate adoption of Open Source Software.  It’s becoming more mainstream all the time.  Students who aren’t already learning Open Source development techniques are missing the boat.

This is an excellent opportunity for educators to learn FOSS Development from experts. So please pass this on.

Thanks to everyone that made our December meeting and our Fedora Release Party/ InstallFest a huge success. Pics have been posted here.

A brief summary for our December meeting has been posted here

Our Next Meeting will be held January 14 2009.

Just a reminder that Saturday Dec 13th 2008, WNYLUG is holding a Fedora 10 Release Party / InstallFest.

Breakfast and Lunch will be provided. (Compliments of The PCA Group,Inc and FedoraProject)
