This is Abhradip Mukherjee. Here in India (West Bengal) we have a strong base. There are several students ready to jump into development fields. They want to contribute and work for fedoraproject and GNU/Linux development at large. I am thinking of starting a  fedora project to start certification projects for such students. That will boost the movement a lot and will encourage potential students to not only use free software but also develop it.

I hope our FAM Steering Committee will allow me to proceed keeping in mind the history of fedoraproject's contribution to free software movement. And I also expect to not to receive something as short as "No you can't", instead I hope to get a detailed explanation (if denied) and a chance to debate.

Also looking for comments by my fellow ambassadors.
