With the new process for getting (and staying) on Planet Fedora in place, how does it affect GSoC-ers ?
Do we have their blogs on the Planet ? And, do they get FedoraPeople.org accounts ?
Is it possible to waive the requirement that my mentee has to be sponsored to a group other than the CLA group? I remember there were discussion about syndicating our mentees blogs to Planet Fedora?
I'm going to forward this to seth vidal, who is in charge of such things, and the Fedora Infrastructure team.
Personally I think that the students/mentees will need access to the wiki at some point or another. That can definitely count as a second group. I've made it a point for my mentee to have a biography on the wiki, and with the new wiki, it has it's own group in FAS.
To actually put a blog on Planet Fedora, the mentees need to follow the instructions seth posted a few days ago.
They can be found here http://skvidal.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/changes-at-planet-fedora/
My personal feeling is that individuals that want to be on planet really should be a fedora contributor. The barriers are pretty low (and going down even more all the time) to contribute.
The question then is, why would someone want to be on Fedora planet but not be a fedora contributor?
These are our google summer of code students, more or less. In the case of Smolt, I want Pavel sending patches to me instead of just pushing them. The only reason is because of google requirements. That's why you probably haven't seen his application to be a member of hgsmolt.
Still, the wiki's a group, no?
