=== New schedule available ===
=== Program quiet while mentors work ===


The program schedule<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_schedule</ref> has been updated to reflect the new program timing.
This week the mentors for Fedora Summer Coding 2010<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010</ref> are working via private discussion list. The mentors have these responsibilities:

* Advocate for their own proposal(s)
 
* Help reach consensus about all proposals
=== Search for sponsors continues ===
* Participate in ordering accepted proposals so the program can offer funding to the top selections.
 
The search for sponsors continues, as the funding pool directly affects how many proposals can be funded.
