@jflory7 will take this to commops and use it to inform the draft proposal being put together by @jsmith

This ticket is also being discussed in fedora-commops#145.

@bt0dotninja did a thorough job of documenting some of the other outreach programs across the open source community. Take a look at his research in this comment.

We briefly visited this ticket in today's meeting. @bt0dotninja put in some research to other programs. His overall conclusion seems to be there is a large focus towards local communities… which is affirming since that is way I feel like we are leaning too.

I am taking the critical information from the CommOps ticket and moving it here. I am also closing the CommOps ticket unless more follow-up is necessary. The rest of this is all @bt0dotninja's handiwork:

in some cases, needs some kind of training.
The principal objective is generate strong local communities.

Is there any further action required for this ticket? Or is there any other place we want to keep this information? Otherwise, I suggest we close this as complete.
