Hi At OSCON we met a lady from a nearby university who was interested in potentially making her students do some work with Drizzle. (Kent took her business card, I hope you have it now...)
For my part I last week contacted two main Technical Universities in Finland, one is my own alma mater and the other one I was invited to give a guest lecture via a Sun connection. Both have courses like "Software Projects" where students get credits for doing some real-world-like project. Both were positive about co-operating with Drizzle, they also take ideas from local companies that students may choose to work from, so this fits nicely into an existing model. Additionally both expressed interest in collaborating also on a research level - this is of course awesome++. (I don't know why I hadn't thought of that.) So I went ahead to create a new page on the wiki: http://wiki.drizzle.org/Drizzle_Winter_Semester So when you come home from burning man, there are following tasks waiting: Tasks: - I appreciate if Brian or someone can review the new ideas I've provided for sanity/correctness - Move your unused but still relevant projects from GSOC 2011 page here if you're still open to mentoring them - Add new projects if you can think of some - Contact your own university or any university to see if they are interested in similar co-operation! henrik -- [email protected] +358-40-8211286 skype: henrik.ingo irc: hingo www.openlife.cc My LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=9522559 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
