The Google Summer of Code 2010 is a go!
I'm excited to announce that the Google Summer of Code is happening again in 2010! Last year Drupal went a perfect 18-for-18, meaning that all of our students passed the SoC, and we even got a "bonus student" who worked on Drupal module for the Creative Commons.
Please help get the SoC started by joining the Google Summer of Code 2010 group, and by posting project ideas to the group! Student Proposals should be marked as such in the "Project Type", as the students will get first dibs on that project idea once the voting starts. All other project ideas should be marked "Community Proposal" and will be open to all SoC applicants.
If you are a student thinking of applying to the program I highly suggest you do the following things:

Workflow for Drupalversity - how to contribute!
Now that this project has started to move, I've started to think about it less in terms of something that I can build myself and more in terms of a bigger project that lots of different people can contribute to, usually in a relatively small way.

We've been booted out of our own group (the reasons given made sense) so I'm re-posting to this to other groups.
This is the original Drupalversity wiki page that was originally at http://groups.drupal.org/node/44418. I fully expect it to be broken up into subpages at some point.
This page will contain a few trial Drupalversity courses.

Drupal Admin Training: March 8, 2010
Announcing the next Boston area Drupal training on Monday March 8, 2010, from 9AM to 6PM, to benefit Cambridge Community Television in sunny Central Square, Cambridge, MA. Enrolling in this excellent workshop will not only provide you with a solid foundation in Drupal site building and administration, it will also 100% sponsor the excellent social media programs operated at CCTV.
This workshop will be lead by trainer Sean Effel of Drupaltherapy, so if you've enjoyed those screencasts then this is your chance to spend a day with the same level of high quality instruction in a supportive learning environment.
This intensive all-day workshop will arm new and novice level Drupal users with a schooling in Drupal basics including installation, configuration, core functions, contributed modules, themeing, and a dose of Drupal stunt driving. This is high quality Drupal instruction in a price bracket that individuals, non-profits and small businesses can afford. Here is a sample of the curriculum we will cover.
If you want a one stop kick-start to the Drupal project, this class will give you a solid overview of all the aspects and help set you on course to better understanding of Drupal. These classes book full very quickly, so register early! Deadline to register is March 1, 2010.

I've discussed this idea to some extent on the dev and docs mailing lists, it was suggested that I also post here. In brief:

Drupal Kata (our homegrown project learning program) is taking shape
Hi there -
Just to follow up for those who aren't already aware/involved (most of you), the Drupal Kata (http://drupalkata.com/) is up and running and we're starting to generate a bit of interest. That said, we're still very much in need of leaders, mentors, advisers, and apprentices in the areas of project/sprint/task management, education, business, and marketing. Developers, designers, themers, are obviously pretty key, but it helps when there are people to provide guidance.
These may be good points of entry -

Open Atrium & Gradebook Module for E-learning Feature
Firstly congrats to the Open Atrium team its a really impressive product and I think is going to be the basis for many effective communities... Thank you for your hard work.
As we have seen with DrupalEd , organic groups make great classrooms.
I think a really useful open atrium install profile that could be an e-learning system out of the box ... would be a combination of DrupalED and Open Atrium
I am planning to do some work to try and see what I can can do with creating some education orientated features for Open Atrium around the following modules
