Re: Student partnership program. Extending fedora mentor program to students.

This is really great news. I am a student of 4th semester B.Tech in Information Technology at RCC Institute of Information Technology, Kolkata. I am sure my college will jump at this idea. It will really be glad to host Fedora conferences and seminars. We already have a functioning Linux Users' Group and this will be an added boost. The students will also lap up the idea of projects. I will definitely talk to the college authorities and let you know the outcome.

Yours sincerely,
Dipanjan Chakraborty.

Hi all,

In our previous APAC ambassadors meeting we were discussing about this idea[1].

Generally the final/pre-final year engineering students need to do
some project work on a topic.
What I personally saw that they desperately search for one.

we can make a lot of  new contributors if we provide them with a
project to work, some guidence
and may be a certificate at the end. (As they say, target this segment :))

This way we can make much more widespread effect as the student
partners themselves will spread Fedora within their peers and their
college.

Also we may talk about officially tie-up with some colleges.

The basic idea is here[2].

Now the question id if this is worth taking up.
If yes, lets refine it here.
