Hi folks, my cousin Franek has chosen working on LilyPond as his summer internship (Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of Warsaw University requires students to complete internships so that they gain experience in working on real-life projects - i suppose other universities do the same).
There is just one formal requirement: some organization or business entity (of course it should be affiliated with LilyPond in some way) has to provide a "certificate" after he finishes his work. Do you know who could do this? This doesn't have to be anything formal - just a note that student so-and-so worked on LilyPond during summer for estimated x hours. Maybe we could get students from other countries to work on LilyPond? It was really simple in case of Warsaw University: i went to the guy responsible for internships, talked with him and he said LilyPond is perfectly fine - and that was it! Now, there's an even more awesome thing: i've talked with another guy who coordinates the "team programming project" course for 3rd-year students (which results in undergraduate thesis for the team members). The thing is that the coordinator wants the projects to be as real-life as possible: some of the projects are actually ordered by companies. I've asked him whether it would be okay to have some LilyPond modules as the project, and he said that it's okay - Lily fulfills all requirements. So, the students could for example implement MusicXML export, or implement advanced accidental spacing (http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2141 and friends), or some other project (Mike's skylines is a good example of the project that could be done during this course). I think this is pretty awesome! Maybe you could try this in your local Universities? Having a horde of students working on LilyPond would be excellent, don't you think? cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
