And the winners are team, not a person in a team. <blockquote cite="mid:1303285627.4986.14.camel@cedric-nvl.bosdonnat.homelinux.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">The developers are the mentors and I step back as the one who fill the gaps between the developers and the students. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Cool!

The open source movement in Vietnam is still quite immature; and we find it very hard creating an active Linux users' group. That means, it is even harder find FOSS developers. <blockquote cite="mid:1303285627.4986.14.camel@cedric-nvl.bosdonnat.homelinux.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Sure, but don't go too quickly with the tasks from the GSoc as the students aren't selected yet. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">I didn't know that :) Anyway, the deadline for picking an idea is 2011/04/30 </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> What we can do: you copy the whole lot of ideas now and you remove the ones selected for GSoc when Google has announced the selected students.
