Sugar Summer Program

See http://www.mail-archive.com/iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg04163.html for background and reference.

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).
