Summer Coding SIG

Purpose: Oversee, define, and improve on the Fedora Project's work with students contributing as part of their classwork or summer internship, and do so in a way that provides a general framework re-deployable by other open source projects seeking to do the same.

What are we doing?

 * Working on the Fedora GSoC 2012 bid.
 * Gathering Summer coding ideas for 2012 -- more are needed!

How can you help?
Right now, join our channels and introduce yourself and what you're interested in - we're working together to define more formal roles for those who want to know their time investment beforehand. That discussion will be carried out on the list, and the more formal roles will be announced on the Fedora mailing lists and planet when they are ready.

Mailing List

 * The project mailing list is the main discussion location for all students and mentors: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding
