I'm talking to you because I know some of you work at companies, organizations, foundations, consortiums, and so forth. And you may be in the perfect position to sponsor a student for Fedora Summer Coding. We're moving the schedule back an extra month to give a chance for more sponsors. The proposed schedule gives us until 21 May for sponsors to pledge funds. (Separate announcement about schedule changes coming.) We need word word about Fedora Summer Coding to get to the ears of more people. People who: * Have the desire to help students (learn to) contribute to FOSS & the Fedora Project. * Want to associate their name or brand with being a sponsor of these summer coding activities. * (Optionally) care about the future of the Fedora Project; you may be funding work that happens primarily upstream, but it should somehow benefit Fedora. * Can pledge money toward funding students by 21 May 2010. * Are interested in getting in at the start of a new program associated with Fedora. We are already planning how to do a Summer Coding 2010 for the Southern Hemisphere, and entire half of the planet not covered by GSoC. This can be as big as we want to grow it. Is this you? Your company? Spread the word. People should contact me directly, unless they want to be transparent and in public about it. ;-) <kwade@xxxxxxxxxx> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010#You_are_a_sponsoring_organization Some more writing on this: http://iquaid.org/2010/04/13/sponsoring-summer-coding-get-and-give-value/ http://iquaid.org/2010/04/02/seeking-sponsors-universities-corporations-foundations-individuals-creative-ideas/ Thanks - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
