hi..thanks for the mail...
 
i think you should also consider an academic program as well
 
Students will be able to work on FEDORA project as pert of their term project !
 
also, internship  maybe iontroduced with certificates given, studetns appreciate certificates.
 
a effective region based mentoring system might be started ...and then we can move on to a local mentoring system.
 
the important thing is, the mentoring system needs to be implemented anew asap. this way more students can take part.
 
 
thanks and have a nice time.

Thank you for this mail.

In the past we tried with a global mentor program but it didn't have
the success we wanted.

What you ask, and all the replies I read in this thread, underline the
importance of a local Mentor system.

FAmSCo, in this way, is listening all the opinion that comes around
the world and it's available to be a point of reference in the process
of the creation of a Local mentor program.

What Susmit (the links he gave are the right ones) said are good news,
and in the past months he and the APAC community started a
constructive discussion around localization.

FAmSCo is here to hear you request and give a helpfull hand. If you
have specific requests/questions/proposal about this issue, fell free
to write here (in this list) or contact FAmSCo, it's important your
opinion and your actions to help it working concretely for you.
