Is anyone interested in helping with the administrivia aspects of Summer Coding 2010? I'd like a pool of people to put in as admin-control level for e.g.:
- Mailing lists (esp. mentor list)
- Includes confirming that requestors are actually former mentors or have passed discussion on 'summer-coding-discuss'.
- Trac instance (fedorahosted.org/summer-coding)
- Willing and able to ask for various Fedora Infrastructure needs
Patrick, are you interested in keeping on with these similar duties as you did for GSoC? I didn't want to presume. :)
Absolutely.
Also, we need a sane way to pick _this_year's_ Admin team. Main duty is arbitration and final-decision on which proposals get funded, _if_ the mentors are unable to decide. (This is a granular task, it could be a decision about one proposal v. another, or the entire list.) Out tasks could fall out of that.
In the past, Patrick and myself were doing that role. I feel I need to continue in that role this year (and I figure it's a failure on my part if we're unable to replace me easily for next year.) I nominate Heiko Rupp as a third Admin. Heiko has been filling that role since last summer, being involved in all the discussions and decisions. Not sure if Heiko wants that duty, but it also works out well that he's known in the JBoss.org community.
Heiko has my support. We also had a few other people volunteer when we were talking about the GSoC, so perhaps some of those people would still like to step forward for duties...?
Finally, as part of the messaging index we're working on, we need stuff for people who want to help organize Fedora Summer Coding 2010. Your ideas for that are appreciated:
