New tracking group 'gsoc_2008'

[quaid]

The mentors had a discussion recently that resulted in the formation
of a new Fedora account group: gsoc_2008.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/gsoc_2008

The purpose of this group is to track all the students within Fedora.
At the minimum, this can be used as a second group so a student can
gain access to resources such as fedorapeople.org and be able to put a
~/.planet file there for getting on the Fedora blog planet. There may
be other uses for this group.

All students, please request membership to that group as a 'user'.

Membership for mentors is optional, and in fact we might want to have
it to be only for students. Any thoughts on that?

cheers - Karsten, helpful GSoC admin guy

    Other method my mentor suggested is that you request hosting space for your project on fedorahosted.org and once approved, thats also a way to fedorapeople.org .

     I think it should be for students only. I mean its of no use poking mentors for these small things. They are busy people and it not a good idea to disturb them unless we want to discuss something related to the project.
