I'm looking specifically to put students/faculty with academic project requirements in touch with existing Fedora Project technical needs that could make adequate use of term limited student manpower to get something specific and well scoped done. If students as part of their degrees need to work on a year or semester long project, I want Fedora to be obvious place to look for compelling things to work on, with an aim towards well scoped projects that have a good chance for long lived utility. Ie, things we know we'd like to see people take a stab a doing, and we would attempt then pick up and maintain once the student completes their academic project time period. I hate seeing good academic project die because there was no real plan to hand them off outside of that academic group which incubated them. I think we do better. I frankly don't care under what group I have to work under to help achieve that. If I can build these sorts of bridges under a Campus specific outreach group which requires me to put in some "face time" by giving a tech talk on a periodic basis.. so be it. Whatever makes the most sense to get our foot in the door so we can start generating sustainable student involvement. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
