(1000 chars) One of Fedora's four foundations is Friends. We highly value community and want to participate in Google Summer of Code to grow our pool of friends, both as users and contributors. We believe that Fedora, as an operating system, represents a platform for student education and experimentation. GSoC gives us the opportunity to formalize this in a way that leads to both better education for students and real world experience with projects and contributions to projects and their upstreams. We are a diverse community and understanding this will help students see how their education and goals relate to the larger world. Fedora is both an upstream and a downstream member of the Open Source community. Participation in our project allows students to see both sides of this equation. Additionally, using Fedora has positive return-on-investment for students because we are the upstream for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the largest enterprise Linux and the likely platform of their future employers. + + +What would your org consider to be a successful summer? + Getting new contributors and helping them to get started with Open Source, writing more cleaner and efficient code, bringing new perspective to projects and retaining them through the year with Fedora and by extension the Open Source ecosystem How many potential mentors have agreed to mentor this year?
