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,

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.
