[Systers-dev] Code Sprint Resources - What do we need?

[Malveeka Tewari]

I agree with Gloria... bash scripting comes extremely handy...
Infact I'm in the process of preparing a quick reference page for some cool
bash tools/scripting guides for myself.
I'll try to make something like a "good to know" document - of course not
exhaustive but hopefully concrete enough to get people started..

Also, fyi

Application Round Opens for Nairobi Meeting Fellowships

Program ensures global representation at ICANN’s International Public
Meetings

29 September 2009

*MARINA DEL REY, Calif.*: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers has launched the ninth round of fellowship program applications for
its 37th International Public Meeting to be held in Nairobi, Kenya from 7-12
March 2009.

“Just like the Internet, ICANN is global in scope in its operations,” said
Theresa Swinehart , ICANN's Vice President, Global and Strategic
Partnerships. “Our fellowship program, through the contribution of alumni
from the previous 7 meetings, continues to experience success in making sure
global voices are heard in the wide variety of public forums that it holds.”

For the upcoming Seoul Meeting, there are 35 fellows selected from 27
countries, chosen from 132 applications received. 10 of the fellows are
alumni from at least one of the past seven programmes; 21 fellows are
first-time attendees to any ICANN meeting and 4 have attended past meetings,
but are first time fellows. Priority is given to applicants who are current
residents of developing and least developed nations and interested in
participating in ICANN and its supporting organizations, such as the
Governmental Advisory Committee, the Country Code Names Supporting
Organization, and the Generic Names Supporting Organization. The fellowship
will assist in covering airfare, hotel and a stipend. Recipients will be
expected to actively participate in and contribute to ICANN processes. As
always, registration for ICANN’s meetings is free for anyone wanting to
attend.

Applications for the meeting in Nairobi will be accepted from now until 1200
PDT (UTC -7) on 6 November 2009. More information, as well as a link to the
application for a fellowship, is available online at:
