Hello everyone,
I am glad you are interested in participating as a speaker in the Google
Summer of Code and Outreachy Project Showcase talk at FLOCK 2018. I am

weeks due to my semester ending exams.
If you want to participate in the talk as a speaker, it is still not too
late. You need to be

or org admin

2. Qualities of a good GSoC/Outreachy project idea and process to propose a
project idea. (5 mins)
3. If possible, a little introduction from Fedora co-ordinators for the
program (2-3 mins)
