The Fedora Project selected for Google Code In 2012
According to the Google Blog post[1] on Monday (12th Nov), The Fedora Project has been selected for one of the mentoring organizations for Google Code In 2012. Fedora featured 7 times in Google Summer of Code program in 2005 to 2012 except in 2010 but this is the first time Fedora project is featuring as one of the mentoring organization with Google Code In program. Interested mentors and students please do get enrolled with the program and then the Fedora Project. All required information can be found on GCI 2012 portal[2]. The main idea behind getting with this program is to get some interaction with young students and create some long term relations with them. We do believe all the contributors with in Fedora project will support us. It is a big challenge ahead of the Fedora Summer Coding team to achieve in this winter, and we should succeed.

Seeking for tasks - Program for GSoC returning students
Hello GSoC 2012 selection process is over ! We had a high demand from the students and since we are offering some limited slots we couldn't accept all the good students. Therefore we are planning to launch a program for returning students (who didnt select for GSoC with Fedora). The structure of the program is not yet finalized but certainly we need some tasks, so that students can work on those. If you are interested in adding a task to the list[1] please feel free. Please note the number of hours needed to complete the task and contact details of the person who should be contacted in case of getting more information. Nothing is finalized please join with us if you are interested to shape the program.

Fwd: Standard ML in Fedora and in GSoC
Hello, An idea found on the summer-coding list, please forward if you have any idea, comment. Thanks for the support ! extract Dear All, Buddhike Kurera suggested me to write my idea and send it to this mailing list. I am a functional programming advocate and would like to see Standard ML projects in Fedora. Both a better infrastructure for the language and actual projects that are implemented in SML. For a short introduction why SML would be useful, check my blog entry: http://www.buday-rd.com/on-standard-ml I would add the following: as far as I know, daemons are written in Python nowadays in Fedora, with a possible rewriting in C if speed and memory footprint is critical. SML could do both, as the sml/nj and the polyml compiler has an interactive loop like Python for creative programming, but the mlton whole-program optimizing compiler generates executables with speed comparable to C object files. It has a mathematical definition so it is easier to argument about a program than in Python or C. The first step could be proper packaging for various architectures and platforms, and cross-compilation for these. mlton, polyml and mosml has packaging but I did not find packaging for sml/nj. The next step could be choosing a daemon task to write from scratch or an existing one to rewrite. I would appreciate your comments and questions on this. - Gergely /extract -- Regards, Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera(bckurera) Fedora Ambassador - APAC region Event Liaison - Design Team Email: bckur...@fedoraproject.org | IRC: bckurera -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
