this redhat idea of only one winner doesnt really work out. Google has a much better plan which really gets a lot of foss code written
Umm...does the URL above limit "ideas" to code ? Or is there an implied sense of that ? In that event one would perhaps bump this internally for semantic clarity
i was talking more of the redhat equivalent of GSOC that we had in India - i went through a lot of the proposals, and found 95% of them had nothing to do with FOSS - and were just the final year projects that students have to do. I think prize money was for just 1st and 2nd place. Which means there is not much incentive to do creative work there. Please dont take this as flame bait, I dont use redhat/ fedora, but am a big fan of the company anyway
