"The students application period will be open^[3] from today, 26th March 1900 UTC. Interested students can start submitting their applications (proposals) to the Fedora project and google-melange.

Please make sure you complete following on or before the deadline, 06th April, 1900 UTC. Do not wait till the last minute, no late proposals will be entertained by gsoc program admins or Fedora project.

Complete how-to guide on submitting proposals ^[4] to the Fedora project can be found at wiki ^[5] and each and every proposal should be submitted via the google-melange.com as well. (get registered with the program if you dont) You should create your proposal on the wiki^[6] and send the link to the summer-coding mailing list.

Fedora Events

The purpose of event is to build a global Fedora events calendar, and to identify responsible Ambassadors for each event. The event page is laid out by quarter and by region. Please maintain the layout, as it is crucial for budget planning. Events can be added to this page whether or not they have an Ambassador owner. Events without an owner are not eligible for funding, but being listed allows any Ambassador to take ownership of the event and make it eligible for funding. In plain words, Fedora events are the exclusive and source of marketing, learning and meeting all the fellow community people around you. So, please mark your agenda with the following events to consider attending or volunteering near you!

Upcoming Events (December 2011 - May 2012)

North America (NA)^[1]
Central & South America (LATAM): ^[2]
Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA)^[3]
India, Asia, Australia (India/APJ)^[4]
