Congratulations, students!

[Ryan Rix]

Heya,

First of all, congratulations to our six student who will be working on 
projects within Fedora in Google Summer of Code! Contrary to the slashdot 
story from earlier this week ;), we had six students accepted:
* Arun Scaria -- SUDO support in SSSD. mentored by sgallagh and jraquino
* dehydrogenaza -- Educational Application for Fedora Robotics Suite, mentored 
by timn
* Harshard Shirwadkar -- Revert to snapshot feature in Ext4 file system, 
mentored by Amir Goldstein and OpenNode
* Hiemanshu Sharma -- Fedora Events System, mentored by Juan Rodriguez
* Kevin Kofler -- KDE Plasma Dependency Generation and PackageKit Integration, 
mentored by Rex Dieter
* Ankur Sinha -- Fedora Medical, mentored by Susmit

Everyone's going to kick butt this summer!

A few notes: Make sure everyone is in contact with their mentors, and that you 
guys are spending time figuring out how this summer is going to work, how well 
you will be working with your mentor, when you can get together to talk, 
etc...

Second, i'd like to see our six students blogging on Planet Fedora about what 
they are working on, and be able to provide semiregular updates on their 
progress. I'd say that at least half of you are already on planet, but the 
rest should look at adding themselves: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Planet

Thanks everyone!

The blogs are also expected to be on
http://planet.fedoraproject.org/summer-coding/ aren't they ?

Instructions on how to get a gosc-specific feed up and running on
/summer-coding would be appreciated.

I couldn't find anything on the wiki page[1] regarding filtered feeds.

The step where it mentions the .planet file creation is the one that
requires a bit of modification specific to the planet.

For example, if memory serves right,
http://planet.fedoraproject.org/desktop/ required a .planet.desktop
file in the Fedora People page (or, I may be wrong about the file).

A quicker way would be to email to admin at fedoraproject dot org or,
perhaps raise a
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/newtplticket ticket to
assist you in adding the blog.

I put it on a separate page so people not in the program wouldn't
accidentally add their blog to the planet:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Joining_Fedora_Summer_Coding_planet

It's in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Summer_Coding but
maybe not linked from anywhere useful?

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Joining_Fedora_Summer_C...

Nope, linked from nowhere ...
