#141 [Other/Talk-2hr] Fedora Summer Coding 2019 Project Showcase + Meetup

Closed: Resolved 4 years ago by riecatnor. Opened 5 years ago by jflory7.

What is your proposal?

The Fedora Summer Coding project showcase and meet-up is a recurring event each year that does the following:

Gives a platform to Summer Coding interns to present their accomplishments and work to Fedora community
Share knowledge and wisdom among mentors and empower more people in Fedora community to participate as mentors
Provide unstructured time to network and meet others involved with Fedora Summer Coding

The goals for this session are to celebrate the accomplishments of the numerous interns working on Fedora and to build up the Fedora Summer Coding initiative. This gives interns a chance to share their work with a wider audience and to invite more people to participate as mentors or admins in future rounds of Fedora's Summer Coding initiatives like Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Outreachy.

Proposed schedule

Introduction to Fedora Summer Coding programs (GSoC, Outreachy)
Project showcase (10m presentations by each intern on project work)
Mentor panel
- Best practices on mentoring / advice to future mentors
- How to become a mentor for a Fedora Summer Coding project
Free discussion / Q&A (unstructured time for off-stage conversations)

Who in addition to the speaker needs to be in the room for this to succeed?

I would like to be actively involved in this session! :)
thanks @jflory7 for taking the lead. Please count me in and let me know how we are planning this one :)

@sumantrom Awesome, I edited your name in. :smile: I can definitely use your help! Once Flock gets a little closer, I'd like to follow up with project mentors to get a head count of mentors and interns, and then come up with some questions for a mentors panel.

I'm aiming to start on this halfway through July or so. I'll sync up with you, @amsharma, @jonatoni, and @siddharthvipul1 around then. :)
