POSSE China is coming up - the biggest issue is
getting applications from attendees. iow, people plan on attending,
but we don't know anything about them, so we can't approve them to
attend.(mchua,

POSSE South Africa is looking very good, thanks
to madeyeye's hard work - it has instructors (jwildeboer and myself)
but lacks a tech guru. Anyone know a good South African Fedora
hacker?(mchua,

POSSE Malaysia still needs instructors and a
tech guru, but there's a general idea of how that might
happen.(mchua,

mchua is worried about POSSE Philippines and
EMEA not happening this fall because there hasn't been any news
about it and the fall is coming close.(mchua,

Other POSSE ideas: beagleboard, Santa
Cruz/California, Drupal, Olin, design, Arizona State, University of
Kansas, Johns Hopkins, Scotland, Brazil, Plone, liberal arts.(mchua,

In terms of running POSSE, I'd love to have a
professor (possibly with a course release) to work with on this in
the spring - and make it a rotating thing, where a different
professor gets a course release to coordinate coordinators of POSSE
each year.(mchua,

I'd also like to have a conversation at some
point this month with anyone who's interested in - or already
involved with - doing research on the effectiveness of POSSE, formal
or informal, because we need to get a better idea of how we're
doing.(mchua,

Our trademark for POSSE is *still* in the
works. Legal stuff takes a while, apparently. :)(mchua,

ctyler, quaid, ianweller, and I are hoping to
get POSSE some more solid infrastructure with a more distributed
sysadmin team. Help welcome! We target completion of the work by the
end of the month, with everything ready to roll by mid-august when
school starts again.(mchua,

ianweller and mchua are hacking on a POSSE
