hi!
Tom - as Julianna says, you can, of course, reach out to any professors and/or send any professors my email to talk about more questions!
Julianna - it would be great for you to ask some of your fellow professors in the humanities at USP. This is our best form of recruiting (from one professor to another), which is why it is so great to have you and tom involved in the recruiting.
As for Fabio Kon: I talked to him, and it sounds like he is interested in creating a Computer Science portal on Wkipedia and also do some development for MediaWiki during his summer course (December - February). Of course, this is not yet confirmed, but I'll talk to him some about this and keep you posted!
One thing about recruiting professors for the Global Education Program: Ale, Everton and I talked a little bit about what the pilot project for the program should look like beginning in February 2012. Based on our pilot experience in India, I think it would be best to keep the number of schools to maybe just two or three schools where we already have a presence: UNIRIO, USP, and maybe UNESP. That way, we can learn a lot from the pilot before expanding into the broader country where we are more dispersed, although I think it is absolutely essential that we move into other regions as soon as possible (and of course, pending success of the pilot!).
Just some thoughts :)
