Hi Everyone,
Sharing this to a wider audience in case others might be interested. The
next round of UCOSP & Open Academy will be starting in January. This
means the program is gearing up now.
This program is similar to Google Summer of Code. It matches (3 to 8
usually) senior students with mentors from open source projects.
Students complete features, fix bugs, and generally get involved in the
community in exchange for a grade at the end of their course.
The students are pre-filtered by the participating Universities, and the
program. This means the calibre of student is very high. In my
experience, the typical student in this program is usually quite a bit
more capable and has more initiative than GSoC.
The program kicks off with a 3 day code sprint in California in January.
Mentor time commitment is:
* Roughly a few hours up front to meet & help students get going.
Likely less if your project's getting started material is decent.
* 3 days for a weekend code sprint at Facebook's HQ in California in
January. Last year there was a travel subsidy and likely will be again.
* Roughly 1 to 2 hours per week between January & April for weekly
stand-up meeting, code review, and interaction with the interns.
* Roughly 3 to 5 hours for feedback and participating in the grading
process.
If you are interested in participating, please let me know ASAP. The
deadline to complete a form to include your project is October 30, 2013.
Cheers!
Andrew
