Is anything specifically related to packaging appropriate? The GSoC sponsorships are for coding not packaging. If a student knows nothing about packaging what are they supposed to do?
Learn ;) We are a distribution, packaging is part of what we do. I have been working a lot with people that generally live outside the packaging world lately and I can only say that we need more people that realize that packaging is a very important part of the Linux world. That does not imply that I think students should just create a bunch of packages, that is probably a bit too simple.
