Hi, LiAnna.
I understood now, no problem. Even so with my misinterpretation, I
think it was interesting to send to all professors, let me know if
they will answer. Since we need to create a program self-sustainable,
I do believe we have to find professors who canI also have a
leadership role in expanding the program, like Juliana Bastos (one
example we know).
I have noticed other professors from our expansion in the second phase
of the pilot here in Brazil that could also do this, and the idea of
this meeting just made me think we should think on ways on how to
estimulate professors willing to perform this role in a national or
regional level. For instace, after the open call in Brazil and having
discovered the work of professor Yuri
<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/12/14/professor-yuri-leite-brazil/>,
from the same state of other two professors, I believe on the
importance of forming this local network of professors so that they
can even develop their own solutions and ideas on how to expand the
program and help themselves in the local level. :)

Hi Tom,
The idea behind this is that it is not necessarily for *professors* but for
*program organizers* -- in other words, 1-2 people per country, people like
you. :) I think generally professors have a lot to offer in the discussion
of things like "what kinds of content students can add" or "should we
work
in sandboxes?", but we are looking for this to be a higher-level discussion
of things like "How can we be better about documenting what we've learned in
Egypt so that program leaders in other countries can follow what we've
done?"
I should have made this distinction clearer, sorry.
