- Learn about the program
- Review the Summer Coding 2010 pages, look at the Summer Coding 2010 student application and make sure this program is right for you.
- Find a project idea
- You can propose your own idea, or look for inspiration among ideas posted by mentors on the Summer coding ideas for 2010 page.
- Start communicating
- Begin communicating with the community. Other members of the community can help you refine your idea, and you may meet potential mentors. You should contact sub-projects within the community that can provide mentors for your project idea, and you should join the discussion group.
- Set up an account
- If you do not already have in account in the Fedora Account System, create one.
- Draft your application and proposal
- Copying the Summer Coding 2010 student application, create a new page:
- Summer Coding 2010 proposal - Name of proposal
- Replace "Name of proposal" with a short name for your proposal. Fill in the page with the details of your proposal.
- To create the page, type the new page name in the search box (left), hit "Go", then "create this page".
- Include the following line at the bottom of your new page:
- [[Category:Summer Coding 2010 applications]]
- Copying the Summer Coding 2010 student application, create a new page:
- Keep communicating
- We cannot overstress the importance of communication. Keep talking, and listening, to the discussion group, to the sub-projects relevant to your proposal and to potential mentors. Be patient, as mentors and other contributors are often very busy people.
