Ross, I understand that the project is only in its planning stages and that is perfect for me. I will not be eligible for the internship course with Kaplan until early next year. So, your earliest ETA date of December is actually right on target. Kaplan leaves the chore of actually finding an inter

Hi Krista, It's great to hear you find this attractive as a student, that's a good sign from the proposed projects perspective. With respect to participating in an internship I'm afraid this proposal is not going to be much use to you since we don't know if it will be funded yet, and even if it i

I like the concept of having students "work" in an open source project to learn how such communities work. To me it's an invaluable experience, so I don't object to this at all. On the contrary, for the projects I'm working on I would definitely volunteer as a mentor. Greetings, Marcel

Hi Shashi, I think its fair to say that every one of our projects could use your help in testing. To get the most out of your time in open source you should spend a little time finding a project that is going to give you lots back. Adding testing an Apache project to your CV is certainly a good t

This is an unusual vote in that it is running in parallel to the DISCUSS thread as a result of external time restraints. It is also unusual in that I am not likely to be able to leave it running for a full 72 hours for the same reason (minimum 36 hours, will push as late as I can). For this reason

Some may recall that I kept promising the arrival of students from an EU Commission project on a GSoC style pilot in formal education. This was a very long way from successful but there was zero impact on our projects since we asked PMCs to mark GSoC level projects as "mentor". This enabled us to p
