Some updates from the meeting with @fossdot and @Hamdaan_Ali (Creator of upcoming mon.school course - Iterators and Generators in Javascript)

• We will be planning some introductory sessions/workshops to launch new courses on the mon.school platform, where creators can brief the community about the course and as a way to market these courses. @Arya_Kiran can you help us set up a livestream on sovran.video?

• An email will be sent to mon.school users about the course launch, introductory online stream/session

• The course creator can help with marketing of these courses in many:

1. Course launch livestream where the creator talks about the course and covers some topics in brief.
2. Cohort based learning - The course creator can start learning cohorts for interested students. These could be periodic online meetings. FOSS Clubs can play a crucial role here
3. The creator can also go to FOSS Club events/ FOSS meetups and talk about the topic.

• We will also be promoting these intro sessions and the course launch on FOSS United and FOSS Club social handles

• Regular updates about mon.school in the FOSS United newsletter

• Once the platform picks up some traction, we should categorise courses based on prerequisites and concepts (Beginner,Intermediate,Expert)

Closing the Mon School Course Creation Grants

The Mon School Course Creation Grants have been officially closed, and all course grants will be temporarily frozen starting immediately. We will continue to review and grant WIP as well as completed courses. Reflecting on the past three years, we acknowledge that our platform has not achieved the success we hoped for. Nevertheless, we remain committed to our mission. We appreciate the active participation and interest in our grants program and remain available for inquiries.
