I have a proposal that in selecting proposals we do this: 1. Decide which proposals are worthy of taking if we had an endless budget. 2. Order those proposals and fund the ones we think should have budget right now. 3. The other proposals are unfunded but otherwise good enough to proceed; offer to the students and mentors of those proposed projects they can run the project for full credit but no pay. We'd love to fund all the great projects people are proposing. Some people are saying they'd love to work the project even if they don't get funded. If they have a proposal that would get funded if we had more budget, and they do the work, they should get full credit. Credit means: * Recognition as a participant who completed the program. The funding is not referenced here, so the students can put it on their CV/resume the same as if it were a funded project. * Any materials we provide for students (t-shirt, certificate, etc.) goes to the unfunded projects as well. * Any media/publicity (student blog planet, press releases, etc.) include all the students regardless if the project is funded or unfunded. This idea has been discussed amongst a few of us, and maybe there are some parts of it on this list. The mentors should have this guidance as they go in to proposal review next week.
