Hi,
I just want to get some feedback on the extent that we can involve upstreams, either formally (as named mentor) or informally (e.g. collaborating through upstream mailing list, contributing to upstream source tree). I've proposed three project areas and I've already had enquiries from some excellent candidates for all of them. The overriding goal of each project is to fix some gap in the Debian eco-system, but some of the work may go into the upstream projects. For example, Debian has two TURN servers, neither of them supports database-backed (SQL, RADIUS or LDAP) user/password storage or any other distributed mechanism in Debian, so an interested student could really work on either of those projects and it would fill that gap. (Simply making another TURN server would not fill a gap in Debian.) One related issue then is the number of projects/students that Debian will support: is there any hard limit on that, or is it only limited by the number of mentors who come forward?
