OpenOffice.org announces Summer Internship Programme Mentors will guide students through OpenOffice.org development Bounties up to 3.500 EUR per enhancement and bug fix The OpenOffice.org Community today announced the launch of its Summer Internship Programme. Students from all over the world are invited to take their first steps in OpenOffice.org development. A cash bounty up to 3.500 EUR per enhancement or bug fix is available. Participants will benefit by learning from experienced mentors from the worldwide community, gaining valueable skills -- not to mention the opportunity of coding for millions of users worldwide. Mathias Bauer, a lead developer of OpenOffice.org, says, "We think that working on OpenOffice.org is real fun. On the other hand, we kow that it's also a challenge for new developers. But skilled students who have mastered the first steps together with their mentor, will have a great opportunity to work on interesting features in one of the biggest and most important open source projects." Cor Nouws, member of the OpenOffice.org Community Council, adds: "OpenOffice.org is an exciting and challenging project. From our experience, we know that interested students can learn lots of cool stuff. Implementing a feature for millions of users worldwide is a perfect reference for your resume -- and something you can be really proud of!" The Summer Internship Programme follows the community's previous bug-bounty programmes that have been successfully organized in the past. It runs from May 31st to October 31st and accepted students are required to work full-time for a period of about three months on their project. Space is limited, so students are encouraged to apply for the programme now!
