Students plan proposals while new ideas keep coming

As per the program schedule^[1], students are working on research and communication with the community. The result of this work is the student proposal, due by 20 May 2010.

Meanwhile, sub-projects in the Fedora Project and the JBoss.org^[2] communities continue to add to the project ideas page^[3]. There are currently 20 project ideas, such as Copr^[4]:

"Copr (Cool Other Package Repo) is a Fedora project to help make building and managing third party package repositories easy. Copr is being implemented this summer by Seth Vidal and Toshio Kuratomi. They would welcome help from interested students."

Other examples are improvements and new features for the Seam Framework^[5], several KDE projects (netbook spin^[6], fingerprint support^[7], and usability recording tool^[8]), and a proposal to integrate Beacon^[9] with the Fedora Docs CMS for WYSIWYG editing of DocBook XML sources. The work to add DocBook XML editing support to Beacon was a project from the 2009 Google Summer of Code^[10], and the student from that project is back as a mentor for this new project.

Search for sponsors continues

The search for sponsors continues, as the funding pool directly affects how many proposals can be funded.

Karsten Wade wrote^[1], "If you work for or with an organization, business, foundation, non-profit, etc. that benefits from a better Fedora Project … consider if you have some budget to help fund a student proposal^[2].
