[GSoC] Channels for mentors and mentees

[Corey Sheldon]

All,


I was  attempting to explain an idea on channels for the program and was
hoping to see if there is even interest (or enough to warrant the effort).


There is currently  #fedora-apps, #fedora-hubs, #fedora-commops,
#fedora-atomic, #fedora-summer-coding  and #fedora-gsocmentors,

However, I know some coders prefer to have a semi private  cross
collaboration means with fellow  participants ( away from the public eye
(those not in the summer coding program, and / or mentors). I was
thinking there could be a #fedora-gsocstudents or similar where only
those  with  proposals (later only those accepted) are  able to use as a
talk-around with only other students.

And sadly it looks like interest in the respective projects will be over
what we are awarded for slots :(, and I remember several students
indicating desire to work (or at least apply for several and take which
ever one they are deemed best for) the above proposal would leave a
space for those folks to still brainstorm but not necessarily be in a
active role OR talk with fellow mentees in their accepted project but
also have a  'break-out' channel  where only those involved are allowed
to be. Leaving  -summer-coding as a  community channel for those looking
to see what things are  like / about or  wishing to brainstorm or  ask
about  pull requests form a  purely  community sense.  We possibly could
even use -summer-coding  post  acceptance  period as a  #fedora-fedmsg
style  channel for near real-time  updates for the community or  those
looking to just take a 'glimpse'  or  catch up on what is  planned / did
happen at a meeting they may have missed or may miss.


Open to ideas, comments,  adjustments and /or  flat out  denials.
