Don't understand your question is it for you or someone else anyway in either case you can google for them but it will lead to lots liks . This i found not to be optimal way of working especially a new guy trying to get his feet wet in foss world, the best starting point i would recommend is to get some form of free software installed gnu, linux or non linux does not matter and start checking out the various call for volunteer links on the software web pages , it will lead you to the page where in the list of task will be listed choose the one you think you can work on and start hacking. But again to come to this point i advise students to submit bug reports in order to understand the landscape and know who is who before commiting time some project . About Certifications i think this is one myth students have that certification helps , yes it helps in getting to the door but then what , i suggest do your part of karma the rest will fall in place , if someone insists on seeing the work cite the urls he will understand, if he still does not understand he is not worth working for ;-) but in real world things are much simpler if you have done some FOSS work the probability of getting a day job becomes higher since you get noticed by many people who are interested in your work and indirectly in you. hth -Satya http://www.linkedin.com/in/satyaakam _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
