#37: Need permission to create and use Fedora pad to provide certificates for unpaid internship ---------------------+------------------- Reporter: kushal | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------- In India many engineering colleges asks their students to work on projects as part of internship program (sometimes as summer internship). Most of the time these internships are unpaid, and not a full time one. In the case of completion of the internship, they need a certificate letter explaining their work, printed on a formal looking pad. I need permission from council to create one such pad design with help from design team, and then use it to provide certificate to any such student who will help Fedora project. Certificates are must in most of the colleges, and that is why many of the students can not work on anything related to FOSS projects. By allowing this, we can start getting more contributors from the colleges (in India and other similar places). How to measure success of the internship work? We will make sure that the student understand, and work with upstream Fedora community only. This way each subproject can actually measure the impact of the work from the students. We will have at least one mentor per student project (sometimes they might work in groups). -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/37> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/council-discuss
