Open questions
- The 'how it works' page doesn't mention how the word of this gets out to students https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/how-it-works or does Google handle that?? promotion?? (Jeff)
- Discuss the opportunity to create "virtual environments" for the students to play with, and eventually come up with a patch? For example, for tasks that would otherwise require access to sensitive systems, e.g. SAC, web pages, etc.. (madi)
- It is not clear to me if it's possible to use more than one bug tracker or we must use the osgeo tracker for all the projects (madi)
- Is it necessary for the students to pick from different "types" of tasks or they can decide to complete only one type? (madi)
