sponsorships update - welcome Indifex/Transifex and JBoss.org
by Karsten Wade 08 May '10

08 May '10

Just a quick update on some sponsorship related items. Indifex (http://indifex.com) / Transifex (http://transifex.net) have signed on as community sponsors[1]. Indifex is a company that was created to initially develop Transifex, the web-based translation management interface. We use it at http://translate.fedoraproject.org, as do many other projects (Moblin/MeeGo, XFCE, LXDE, and so on.) Many more projects host on transifex.net. The initial coding work for Transifex was done by Dimitris Glezos as a Fedora GSoC project in 2007, further code was developed under later GSoC projects for Fedora (with Dimitris mentoring one), and this year Transifex has GSoC students of their own. The Indifex team are 2/3rds former GSoC students and now mentors. I'm proud they are interested in supporting Fedora Summer Coding. http://trac.transifex.org/wiki/Development/SummerCoding https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSoC_report_2009#Success_example:_The_Transi… JBoss.org is our other community sponsor. In addition to growing the breadth and depth of our ideas page, providing mentoring expertise and access to upstream projects, there is also an FSC 2010 banner prominently displayed on the http://jboss.org front page: http://jboss.org/overview/mainColumnParagraphs/0/2columnLeftParagraphs/03/2… I'll work up a blog post on this subject, especially once we work out a bit more with Indifex to make sure I'm telling the best story here. :) Thanks - Karsten [1] Still working out what a community sponsor means. It is any other FOSS project that lends support to our program. For example, Indifex has work space in Athens, Greece they can offer to a student in the area, will help with advertising at local schools, and can offer some mentoring help (or mentoring of mentors) from their extensive GSoC experience. They can potentially provide exposure for the program via transifex.net (as well as hosting for translation), just as JBoss.org has done with their front-and-center banner. -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41

FAQ ideas
by Karsten Wade 06 May '10

06 May '10

Throw out some ideas, or make some edits: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_FAQ I want to put a bit more there before telling e.g. summer-coding-discuss. Maybe give us 24 hours to throw out some ideas? Make sections of questions and leave them blank or incomplete if you aren't sure what the answer is. :) - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
