Program quiet while mentors work
This week the mentors for Fedora Summer Coding 2010[1] are working via private discussion list. The mentors have these responsibilities:
- Advocate for their own proposal(s)
- Help reach consensus about all proposals
- Participate in ordering accepted proposals so the program can offer funding to the top selections.
With over 40 proposals submitted[2], competition is very strong with a range of proposals but only a few being accepted, and even fewer funded. Mentors are scheduled to announce the accepted and funded proposals by the end of the week.
