Google organizes these Summer of Code events every year and GNU has been accepted as a mentor organization a couple of times in the past. This means that GNU can submit project proposals and have students apply for them. The number of project slots is limited and not every student is eligible to participate in the Summer of Code, so I don’t think it is a suitable path for the school collaboration you envision. These project ideas were collected for the Summer of Code, but they are interesting projects that can be worked on outside of this context. Unfortunately, this means that other funding avenue (if any) would have to be found. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
