  Lambda CinC Adv. snarkles While I don't get a chance to come here anymore as often as I'd like, I'm very excited to see you at the helm of this crazy ship. :) Kudos go out to DigitalDemon for all of his hard work as CinC, and for making a very great decision on his replacement. You have laid out an excellent vision here, and moreover I believe you have the skills (both technical and personal) to pull this off. Never were truer words spoken. I think it can sometimes be hard to remember that each of us has an "ownership" stake in CyberArmy's future, and we each have the power to improve it in our own way. Even what seems like the very smallest contribution helps push us forward, and if enough people are doing small things, we can achieve some tremendous things. :) ...learning is key to CyberArmy. We need to concentrate on that as a core ongoing objective - to teach others, and to endeavour to advance ourselves. This means not only do we wish to help teach visitors, but we should also be learning - each individual member and the community as a whole.Here is something I picked up from the Drupal community. Some volunteers have setup what amounts to a online peer-tutoring system called the Drupal Dojo. Each week, at a designated time, someone within the community offers to teach a lesson on something they know. This could be as simple as how to setup a blog, or as complex as getting into nitty-gritty API details. For the lesson, the volunteer broadcasts their screen over a VNC server, and talks over Skype/TeamSpeak as they demonstrate whatever subject the lesson is for that day. Participants in the class watch the screen feed, listen to the voice, and ask questions via IRC. While the presenter is doing their thing, they take a screen/audio capture of what's going on and a video is posted at the end, which people who couldn't attend the lesson can download and view later. CyberArmy's member base has the potential to teach about a *vast* array of subjects, given our diverse backgrounds and such. We could do anything from "How to setup GPG encryption for your e-mail" to "Dissection of a particularly gnarly piece of malware," and on and on. These lessons would also have broader interest outside of CyberArmy, too, so could make a great promotional tool and potentially gain new contributors to the site. Just an idea anyway. :) At any rate, a hearty congratulations, ickz! I know you'll do a great job. :) Replies:
