[Sahana_proj] [Not Sent from Trinity College] Summer H-FOSS Research Internships

[Ralph Morelli]

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that we have received a generous grant from  
the Aidmatrix Foundation to support summer humanitarian free and open  
source software (H-FOSS) development.  Pending actual receipt of the  
funds, we expect to have funds for five H-FOSS research internships,  
funded at $3500 each.  Trinity College will provide free on-campus  
housing for student interns.

The focus of this summer's project will be twofold. Some of the  
interns will work with faculty and industry experts on further  
development of Trinity's volunteer management (VM) module.  The  
Sahana work will be focused  primarily on meeting the requirements  
identified by the Sri Lankan Red Cross.  Other interns will be  
working on designing and developing an H-FOSS product for a local  
(Hartford) non-profit community organization.  In addition to helping  
local and international humanitarian organizations, the project will  
also help you gain valuable real world experience.  The work you do  
over the summer will be presented at Trinity's symposium for summer  
research students and may eventually lead to the publication of a  
paper at a national or international conference.

We haven't yet worked out the details of the application process, but  
I did want to let you know about this opportunity before we disperse  
on our spring vacations.  I will provide further details as soon as  
they are available.

Even though the application details are not yet finalized, please let  
me know if you are interested in this opportunity.  We would like to  
give the Sahana project list the first opportunity before announcing  
the project more broadly.  Expressing interest at this point does not  
require any commitment on your part.

Regards,
-- ram
