Sugar Institute Vision
- Fill a house with design students, education students, and computer science students all coming together to work on Sugar.
- Something with work and living space for about 20 people to come together to work together for brief periods (a couple of weeks to a couple of months).
- It could be used for training deployment teams, some weeks for hackers to work together, some weeks....
- It could become a place for deployments and deployers to hire Sugar developers and designers for specific tasks.
- Flophouse, or SugarShack, would be a precursor to Institute to see if this is something that is useful, cost effective, and
manageable.
RIT FOSS Co-op Vision
- Modeled after http://www.hfoss.org/index.php?page=hfoss-summer-institute
- Support students such as those in olpc:RIT_honors_seminar,_developing_for_the_OLPC_XO working on Math4Team/RIT and want to continue or earn required Co-op credit.
- 350-hour work commitment by students per term.
- External to RIT Co-op program Supervisor(s)
- Prefer that students locate in Rochester, NY rather than disperse. (distance co-ops an option)
- Paid positions when funding is available, unpaid otherwise (Student's must commit to documenting their work before leaving for a paid position).
