For those that asked about internships, below is a decent link. We
generally hire ~50% of interns full time, so this would be a great way
in for those that would like to start working in Open Source.

*Red Hat sees a 'recruitment pipeline'
*Some 30 to 50 interns will be hired by Linux vendor Red Hat Inc. for
the summer, said DeLisa Alexander, the company's senior vice president
of human capital.
"We're looking to find talent that we can hire" after the interns are
finished with their schooling, Alexander said. "It's a real recruitment
pipeline."
Last year, about one-third of the interns were hired full time, while
another 25% stayed on while they continued in school, she said.
One key project taken on by recent interns, she said, was a competitive
analysis of file system features for Red Hat Linux compared to some of
its competitors. Others have helping to redesign and improve the Red Hat
Network Web site, adding new functionality and features.
"We don't want [Red Hat managers] to waste money and hire someone as
cheap labor," she said. "We really want them to hire interns with the
idea of long-term investment, for future hires."
Interns who have graduated start at about US$15 an hour, according to
Red Hat, based in Raleigh, N.C.

A few folks at the UMLUG presentation that we did seemed interested in
this, so feel free to pass it on to the LUG list.
