hi friends,
I would suggest that in think fedora is never short of project its just how we begin.If we mentor a student a student in college for 2 years and ask him to mentor his mates for later years this way a long lasting chain can be developed.
Moreover, certificates is something which every students appreciate as it improves students resume.I think this way it will work in India where students wants to shift to Linux but don't have right guidance to help them out. Moreover ambassdors can conduct some training session in their region to promote fedora.

The case with my college is that they want somebody from Fedora to approach them officially. Susmit is working on that. And I am sure he will come up with a solution soon.
No doubt certifications will be an incentive. But are there enough projects for the undergraduate level students? We must work on this point.

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.

Regards

Francesco Ugolini
