[consulting] and they call it drupalcamp

[Gregory Heller]

Perhaps the problem sets could include things like:
Port a contributed module from 4.6 to 4.7?
Integrate bug fixes or patches for a module

they could be submitted by the community, or culled from the forum
http://drupal.org/forum/51
any revenue generated could go to defray costs for space, food,
trainer's and organizer's time, back to drupal, and maybe to the
"student" in an amount no greater than the cost of the camp (if there is
a cost associated).

Another option could be completing an entire website project for a non
profit organization.
