Partnership with schools

2014-10-24 Thread Guy Waterval
Hi all,

I wonder if we couldn't encourage schools to participate to the projet in a
durable manner. Students have each year projects to realize alone or in
teams. Why not to suggest works reusable  by the project. After a
discussion about that with a student who has contacts in a high school of
engineering, she said me that it was necessary to have a list of projects
that could be proposed to the students after acceptance by the school.
Is it not a practicable way for the project ? Instead of waiting that
people join themselves the community, to be able also to search actively
some durable  partnership  with some schools and universities.
And why not create an Apache certificate to honor the best contributions ?
Could be useful for young people in a resume ...

Just an idea

teachers doing open source projects withing the community, you can see
