Thanks for capturing these key points, Bin. Let me add a couple of qualifications:
The Student Volunteers *require* a letter of Recognition. This gives their efforts a clear value when applying for jobs, and for some students, this is sufficient motivation to do a project. All we are asking of Linux Foundation is to use their Letterhead for this purpose - nothing else. PTLs would do all the process steps and report milestones to the TSC when a project is complete. Otherwise, OPNFV could create their own Letterhead, or some other solution. The proposed text of the letter is on github [3] Practically, there would be a limit on the number of Student Volunteers a project can handle, and the candidates must be students currently enrolled.

Hello community, Thank you all for attending the weekly technical discussion today. In order to further foster community development, attract more talented fresh developers and extend OPNFV's outreach to academia more effectively, Sridhar Rao<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__wiki.opnfv.org_display_-7Esridharkn&d=DwMFAg&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=OfsSu8kTIltVyD1oL72cBw&m=TzBJPeruOmeZiZY3tNorAQ_pWeY2AL2ZR_DP-Q20tO4&s=x-nKkEG20DsdsVFGI8sYiiKln7PDrGSasgq3w3cC01Y&e=> and Al Morton<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__wiki.opnfv.org_display_-7Eacm&d=DwMFAg&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=OfsSu8kTIltVyD1oL72cBw&m=TzBJPeruOmeZiZY3tNorAQ_pWeY2AL2ZR_DP-Q20tO4&s=opxNplrD8omJ-26XiTpTBSGsd0wdmKfQSCpQvRvamgE&e=> proposed a great idea of recruiting and recognizing **student volunteers** (or unpaid interns). This idea is pretty much the same as existing intern program - same process and same evaluation criteria such as project goals / deliverables / evaluations results etc. to ensure the quality. The only differences are: - Student Volunteers are unpaid - Number of Student Volunteers are not capped because there is no impact on budget (unpaid) - Wording of Letter of Recognition is slightly different in order to indicate the volunteer/unpaid nature. At the end the meeting, all agreed and recommended that this topic should be brought to and discussed at TSC meeting. If TSC agrees, we can ask LFN to expand existing internship program to cover Student Volunteers. For details of discussion today, please refer to the meeting minutes page [1], which includes attendees list and IRC log [2]. We are also looking for discussion topics / agenda items for next week's technical discussion on October 14th. If you have any topic, please let me know.
