Hi all,<br>
<br>
In our previous APAC ambassadors meeting we were discussing about this idea[1].<br>
<br>
Generally the final/pre-final year engineering students need to do<br>
some project work on a topic.<br>
What I personally saw that they desperately search for one.<br>
<br>
we can make a lot of new contributors if we provide them with a<br>
project to work, some guidence<br>
and may be a certificate at the end. (As they say, target this segment :))<br>
<br>
This way we can make much more widespread effect as the student<br>
partners themselves will spread Fedora within their peers and their<br>
college.<br>
<br>
Also we may talk about officially tie-up with some colleges.<br>
<br>
The basic idea is here[2].<br>
<br>
Now the question id if this is worth taking up.<br>
If yes, lets refine it here.<br>
<br>
