Our program covers 10 weeks, but perhaps the actual project really only needs about 8 weeks? That is a lot of money in some places, and not even competitive in other places. But it's similar to what Google used for years, and seems to be what Ruby SoC is doing. Being our own program, we can make up our own rules, such as funding 1/2 projects. - Karsten [1] Aside from there being some sponsorships that are earmarked, I also want to give the mentors room to slice the funding pool as they see fit. Not neccesarily by cost of living, but maybe some people and projects are really only 1/2 projects. -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
