Why Campus Outreach is required?

Campus outreach is vital for sustainable C4GT contributions to the community program as it enables engagement with students and fosters awareness of DPGs.

What are the problems we are trying to solve for?

• Currently, less participation in the C4GT Community Program across colleges.
• Lack of awareness about the Community program.
• Students do not find value in contributing to DPGs, because of less stars and awareness of scale (except some popular DPGs).

Possible Solutions and PS points

Campus Ambassador Curriculum

A tentative list of sessions, and workshops should be created to conduct in a span of year. For Example:

• Introduction to Open Source.
• What are DPGs?

Recognizing Colleges with a branding/partner tag will result in higher contributions

• Appreciating Colleges that have made significant contributions.
• Awarding top 25 colleges annually with DPG Nation Builders award during DPG Conclave/ DPG Summit.
• Linking DPG Products to campuses - The campus takes full responsibility for the DPG dev.
• A mentor with the DPG organisation assigned to the college for enabling development.

International Outreach for universities

• Targeting can be segregated into Indian Universities abroad and Foreign Universities
• Branding done on benefits to community and success stories of DPGs
• Geography and College based targeting of posts through Linkedin promoting CCBP
  • C4GT Page on Linkedin in European Languages to include more diverse coding population
• Leverage Indian Associations at Foreign Universities to promote C4GT as a DPG builder
