I have been chosen to be part of the Spread Firefox, College rep team. Blake of the existing sfx team has organised this. We had our first online meeting today over IRC.
The idea has changed a bit and the college team leader idea has changed into a team of six. Here is a brief description of each member:
I am the only non-American in the group, so I have had to get used to a few things. The first is our weekly meeting is at 11:30PM on a Sunday thanks to some timezone differences. The next is that they call universities "colleges". That's what we call our high school's. For example I went to St. John's College and am now studying at Rhodes University. The next and last is that the social divide is less apparant at their universities, which most people having a computer in their room. Things are a little different here with the privledged few having a computer in their room and the rest relying on public labs.
Either way I am pretty excited and things should get interesting. Thanks to Russell for pointing the application out to me.
- I'm Blake Ross, I work on firefox, help manage spreadfirefox, and am ready to kick some ass on the college front. Oh, and I go to college--so it's perfect.
- I'm Robert Hostetler, I am a multimedia developer, and I just graduated last year from Purdue.
- I'm Sean, I am a manager/trainer for a non-profit in NY.
- Alex Polvi, Oregon State University. Currently I am sophomore in CS, and work for the Open Source Lab as a systems admin. I build out spreadfirefox.com :)
- Jason Reimschusel, a junior at Indiana University (Jason was having trouble connecting to the server).
- Then there's me.
