Thanks, Mike.
Many of the professors are still looking for an Online Ambassador, as you
can see on the Course
Page<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:United_States_Education_Prog…
(and here is the link to the Canada
program's Course
Pages<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Canada_Education_Program/Co…nt>.
If you'd like to choose a course (*or more than one!*), we can finalize the
pods for the semester much more quickly. I have directed professors to
reach out to OAs, but they may not have yet completed the Professor
Orientation Modules and may still be struggling to figure out how to post
to your talk pages. :)
Please also email me separately (off-list, please) if you're a Campus
Ambassador who is still interested in participating this semester and has
not yet spoken to a professor. We want to increase all ambassador support
for the semester, so there may still be a professor on your campus who
could use some more support!
Thanks, all!
Also, thanks to all who responded so quickly and joined the IRC chatroom!

I hadn't seen an announcement that we should start
signing up -- did I
miss it? I've been pretty busy so that's quite likely. Could you resend a
link to the current page where interested ambassadors should go to sign up
for a course?
Thanks
Mike
