HI Project:Possibility are starting to organise next year's SS12 CS student competitions and are looking for ideas again. This year we're really pleased to announce that CSUN are joining USC and UCLA, meaning we will have 3 events. We also hope to have the finals and presentations at CSUN conference like last year. That means lots of opportunities to introduce students to GNOME a11y and get them working on projects.
Last year Ben Konrath did a great job leading 2 teams to work on Caribou. Thus these students got an first class introduction to and experience in open source development that is otherwise unusual, except for self motivated individuals. We were very pleased to hear from the students last year that contributing to a 'real' open source project like GNOME was a big motivator. If you have any ideas for projects please do add them to (or otherwise update) http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/GetInvolved/SmallTasks The students get to pick ideas from a short list, so if you are lucky yours will be worked on. The ideas need to be small enough and self contained such they can be worked on over a weekend and have a chance of doing well in the judging. Students won't have much time to get up to speed with existing code bases.
