We use CentOS quite a bit here and I know that it is also used extensively throughout our university system so I thought it would be cool if we could have a CentOS Dojo on our campus. If that's doable my thought is that we could promote it to our campus, to the local community, and also to other universities in Georgia. We have plenty of space on campus to host the event plus we have a variety of food options on campus with many more a short distance away. I would be very open to topic suggestions but would be particularly interested in the following:
- anything geared towards current Windows admins / users who what to know more about the world of Linux and CentOS in particular. This could be particularly timely since Windows XP is approching it end of support. - Puppet and other DevOps kind of things - how the CentOS project works at a technical level - anything geared towards current Computer Science or Management Information Systems students - anything about how public sector organizations such as universities can support and promote CentOS and Linux in general
These are just some ideas that I hope will spark more interest. I have no idea if others in this area are on this mailing list or not so I am sort of expecting that I will have to post this elsewhere for it to be seen by many who would be interested in attending. We have the most space available during the summer but could most likely make this work any time of the year. It would just depend on the room requirements and what else was already scheduled to be happening on campus.

Sounds good so far! Are there some local folks who would be willing to present, or people that you (or we) could reach out to?
I'm reasonably familiar with the GA area and would be happy to help facilitate/attend this one from a CentOS perspective.
Awesome! Depending on what kind of presentations we want I think we might be able to find some inside the university system. Most of the people (myself included) I know here locally would be most interested in the learning from others aspect of this but I am happy to put it out there once it has gotten a little farther along in the process. The Atlanta area has several user groups that we might be able to pull talent from. Google also has a decent size presence around here so we could try to see if someone from there wanted to talk if that sounds interesting.

Excellent! If you could reach out to them and line up a couple speakers, I'll get started on this end and also reach out to a few GA based folks I know.

Can do! Any suggestions on what I should mention as far as topic requests or should I go with the stuff I mentioned (not sure what's fitting or a good idea)? Also, should we aim for a particular date range?

Seems I've overlooked this thread for quite a while. I apologize. Given that we're well into May now, perhaps we should look at targeting the fall quarter/semester. Would mid-to-late September be acceptable?
Topics should be technical, and past examples of successful talks have been along the lines of 'Getting started with Infiniband', various talks on lifecycle and deployment strategies, performance tuning, and various 'cloud' bits such as openstack, IAAS, PAAS, etc.
