3 years ago Update: I will be running a seminar at UofAJK on Tuesday, November 10th. The goal is to make students in AJK aware of internship opportunities and processes, and expand their vision so that they can feel empowered as software creators.
Motivation 🏁
Since I will be operating out of Pakistan for the next few months, I hope to establish our presence in Pakistan's tech universities. The aim is to raise awareness and recruit Pakistani students interested in open source software engineering.
Initiative Overview 👁️🗨️
The purpose of this initiative is to establish Grey Software in universities other than the University of Toronto Mississauga. This could range from having one or two Pakistani students be regular Grrey Software contributors to establishing a campus ambassador's program.
Implementation Details 🛠️
Here are some first steps that come to mind:
[ ] Email Pakistani universities like NUST, FAST, GIK, UET, LUMS to start the conversation
[ ] Look into setting up talks at these universities
[ ] Research Pakistani universities that have open-source programs
Impact 💥
Grey Software will be established in more than one country, and my dream of dividing my time between Pakistan and Canada will be closer to reality.
