More time for Fedora Summer Coding – schedule moved back a month

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

In today’s SIG meeting, the group decided to move back our schedule by a month so we can: Give mentors more time to generate good ideas; Give students more time to generate good proposals; Give organizers more time to find sponsors and funding. The last one is the most important to me.  We only have [...]

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Has your company every wanted to partner with Google on their Summer of Code?  (It’s not something they share, and I know people have asked.) Don’t answer too quickly.  You might want to check with some contacts in other departments, see if there ever has been interest in tapping the deeper benefits of sponsoring a [...]

Fedora Summer Coding organizing – halp!!!

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

We are trying to turn the lights on for a new program this year, Fedora Summer Coding 2010. This is more than making lemonade out of lemons.  After we figured out that the whole idea of summer coding wasn’t kinda-sorta-good but actually pretty great when done right for your own community, it was clear we [...]

Seeking sponsors: universities, corporations, foundations, individuals, creative ideas

Friday, April 2, 2010

A cornerstone of our Fedora Summer Coding is connecting sponsors (those with resources to share) with students (those with time, passion, and skills to share.)  It’s not necessary as a sponsor to have ideas of how your resources should be used, that’s what the Fedora Project and JBoss.org mentors and sub-projects are prepared to do.

Redialed Fedora Summer Coding plan, time to help

Thursday, April 1, 2010

Now that the textbook is out and in use, I’m turning my random spitball approach1 at Fedora Summer Coding.  We had a SIG meeting yesterday, and today I worked on updating the plan.  With that plan we can populate the messaging page.  What’s that?  It’s where people read what they need to know, depending on [...]

Fedora Summer Coding continues

Thursday, March 18, 2010

Fedora Project and JBoss.org were not accepted by Google as an umbrella mentoring organization for their Summer of Code this year.  We’ve been involved since the beginning with many successes.

Summer coding FAD

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Summer coding benefits to Fedora Project and JBoss.org

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Time for a five year report. I did some research, analysis, and reporting recently about the Fedora Project and (later) JBoss.org participation in Google’s Summer of Code project.  I’ve done various parts in our GSoC effort since 2006, the second year we participated, and the last two summers I’ve been focusing on strategic work for [...]
