Coding test
by Mel Chua
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSoC_2010_plan#Workflow_plan mentions a
coding test that students have to pass - where do we find out more about
the test, how to administer it, how it's designed, etc? (I can
understand the test itself being non-public so students will take it on
even footing.)
I've been searching but unable to find stuff, so if it's simply that I'm
missing something, just let me know. ;)

Can Fedora work with $school on summer coding too?

I'd hope so!
Perhaps what we should even do is make a call for schools to do
*exactly* what RPI is doing, that is to say "we've got student stipends
for projects, we'll pay them, we just need a structure of
supervision/evaluation to plug them into... hey, Fedora, yours works,
great!"
What does the school-to-summer-coding interface look like, in other words?

PS: Karsten, how did the Olin sponsorship get in - are they actually
putting aside stipend for open source work? I haven't heard that one,
but could easily have missed stuff. (For those who don't know, I'm an
Olin alum.)

Summer Coding continues
by Karsten Wade
This is what I just posted:
http://iquaid.org/2010/03/18/fedora-summer-coding-continues/
Summary - I'm disappointed, but Google's program isn't the only thing
we're doing here, and that means we're going to focus on the rest of
our list.
* Develop and use the model:
http://blog.melchua.com/2010/03/04/summer-of-code-swimchart-now-with-more...
* Work with RIT, Olin, and other schools that show up with a pool of
students
- We have the mentors, the sub-projects, and the process to put them
work.
* Max Spevack and I spoke today and we'll be committing some of our
education budget to make Red Hat a sponsoring organization. We'll
send out more details soon.
* Red Hat continues to run an internship program, and other open
source companies may as well. There is an intersection with our
Summer Coding SIG, we just need to figure it out. If you know a
department that is hiring interns this summer, ask them to
participate in our SIG.
With three sponsoring organizations, we have something to do this
summer.
cheers - Karsten
