==Sugar Institute Vision==

* Fill a house with design students, education students, and computer science students all coming together to work on Sugar. Small Scale version of this is [http://docbox.flint.com:8081/maple Maple 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 Sugar Shack, would be a precursor to an Institute to see if this is something that is useful, cost effective, and manageable.

* Sugar Labs would be a technical sponsor.

* Give smart, passionate students, who might not be familiar with open source and community development, a chance to immerse themselves in the culture.

* Provide a catalyst for small groups, loosely affiliated with Sugar Labs, to form, and work on interesting projects that might feed back upstream.

==Regional Institutes==

* Rochester, New York, USA (see below)

* [http://www.bosivt.org Barre Open Systems Institute] in Barre, Vermont, USA with Paul Flint, http://www.mail-archive.com/iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg04175.html

* [[Sugar Labs DC]], Washington, DC, USA with Jeff Elkner, http://n2.nabble.com/-Marketing--Fwd:-Sugar-Labs-DC-Summer-Workshop-tt3004044.html

==[http://www.rit.edu/ RIT] FOSS Co-op Vision==

[http://www.rit.edu/ Rochester Institute of Technology, RIT], Rochester, New York, USA

* 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]] who want to continue or earn required RIT Co-op credits.

* 350-hour work commitment by students per term.

* External to RIT Co-op program Supervisor(s) to oversee and grade the student work.

* 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).

* Collaborating with students that will be working on independent studies, see [[User:Bbl5660|Brian Long]] , [[User:Classclownfish|Abbi Honeycutt]] and etc.

==~~Needs~~==

==Opportunity==

* ~~RIT~~ Co-op program ~~Supervisor~~

* Serve both visions in a co-sponsored, 2009 Sugar Summer Co-op program.

*

* A hybrid operation with RIT students and other interested parties would be possible.

* Find financial sponsors.

*:Sugar Labs is not currently able to provide financial support except through [[Sugar Labs/Donate|community donations]].

** optionally, associate with [http://www.hfoss.org/ H-FOSS].

** self sponsor, when possible.

* Use RIT Resources

** Laboratory, office, and meeting spaces

** Faculty for special projects

** optionally: campus housing for room and board (One could get housing and a full meal plan at RIT for something like $2500-$3500 for the summer. '''BUT''', application deadlines have passed; though, a group application exception may be possible.)

* Use Rochester/Upstate New York Resources

** [[olpc:OLPC_Rochester,_NY| Rochester, NY Special Interest Group]] and http://www.lugor.org/.

** Local schools, colleges, and universities

** Other local institutions...

** [http://www.visitrochester.com/ Local] & [http://www.iloveny.com/home.aspx Regional] resources for the social calendar.

* Room and Board

** optionally: RIT campus housing for room and board (Application deadlines have passed, but a group application exception may be possible.)

** optionally: solicit Sponsor homes, like for exchange students, for those that might prefer or can't afford the other options.

*** a community support option for interested families

*** perhaps sponsors could invite appropriately-sized groups to summer cottages or vacation homes for reflective weekends or short, get-away periods.

** Rochester local housing: $900-1,000/month for a 3 bedroom house $1400-1600/month for a four, etc.
