Hello there. I am an MSIS student (Masters of Science, Information System) at Drexel University, with five years professional experience under my belt (mostly server-side Java and Oracle).
I have the opportunity to take a three month independent study (about twenty hours a week, September through December), and, if you'll have me, I would love to spend that time contributing something significant to the Jakarta Commons project. Is there something specific that you need, that I could start-and-finish within this time? As far as the Commons sub-projects that I'm familiar with, I'm particularly interested in CLI and Lang (but am quite open to others). I've been working on my own Lang-like project for six years now, XBN Java. I don't deny how much I have to learn--I'm not even sure anyone else uses it--but XBN Java is one of my proudest accomplishments. *I* use it for everything I do. I am reading the "how to contribute" articles spiced about the Jakarta site, figuring out what I can. Is there perhaps any specific advice on how I might best pursue this with Commons? I understand this would be in an unofficial capacity, but I need to propose something concrete to Drexel within the next three weeks. (A thought: Are there avenues towards getting one's own existing modules/packages proposed and potentially/eventually implemented into the Commons?) Thanks very much. Feel free to check out my resume or downloadable code at my homepage, linked below. :' ) ===== :' ) Jeffy [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jeffyjeffy.com .. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
