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!
