Revision as of 21:34, 4 March 2010
Purpose: Oversee, define, and improve on the Fedora Project's work with students contributing as part of their classwork or summer internship, and do so in a way that provides a general framework re-deployable by other open source projects seeking to do the same.
... look over here at GSoC 2010. This is a page for students, mentors, mentoring sub-projects, and upstream projects.
What are we doing?
We're working on the execution of summer coding initiatives within Fedora. Effectively, what we're trying to do is take the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) model and generalize and expand it to the notion of $FUNDING_SOURCE Summer of Code by providing sample implementations of alternative values of $FUNDING_SOURCE alongside our continued participation in GSoC.
For a 7-minute video explanation, see Summer Of Code Swimchart: Now With More Generic.
How can you help?
Right now, join our #Communication channels and introduce yourself and what you're interested in - we're working together to define more formal roles for those who want to know their time investment beforehand. That discussion will be carried out on the list, and the more formal roles will be announced on the Fedora mailing lists and planet when they are ready.
Communication
The project mailing list is the main discussion location:
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding
Meetings are every week on Wednesday at 1500 UTC in irc://irc.freenode.net/#fedora-meeting.
