Hello everyone,


I am glad you are interested in participating as a speaker in the Google
Summer of Code and Outreachy Project Showcase talk at FLOCK 2018. I am
extremely sorry for the late email. I have been very busy the past few
weeks due to my semester ending exams.

If you want to participate in the talk as a speaker, it is still not too
late. You need to be
     -  Involved in Google Summer of Code or Outreachy as a student, mentor
or org admin

Currently, the *agenda of the talk *is going to be something like this:

1. GSoC, Outreachy and fedora's involvement in these programs ( 5 mins)
2. Qualities of a good GSoC/Outreachy project idea and process to propose a
project idea. (5 mins)
3. If possible, a little introduction from Fedora co-ordinators for the
program (2-3 mins)
4. Showcase of GSoC and Outreachy projects from current and previous rounds
(Max 5 mins per project)

of their project
5. Mentors talking about their experience and tips for future mentors (Max
5 mins per mentor)
6. Q-A session
