Message-ID: <8CF6A92CB628444FB3C757618CD280390B15B10C@exbe1.cmpcntr.tc.trincoll.edu> Hi Everyone, A quick reminder that the deadline for the H-FOSS summer Institute is tomorrow! If you applied to the program previously please note that you have to send in new application with all the required information to be considered for this summer's program. If you participated last summer, you still have to re-apply, however we are waiving the requirement for a recommendation letter. For further details click here (http://www.hfoss.org/index.php?page=hfoss-summer-institute ) If you have already sent in your application please disregard this message. Best of luck, Trishan The Humanitarian FOSS (H-FOSS) Project is pleased to announce the availability of Ten (10) undergraduate internships for the 2009 H-FOSS Summer Institute. The summer interns will be part of a development team to Build free and Open Source Software for use by humanitarian organizations. The H-FOSS Institute will be held at Trinity College in Hartford, CT. The 10-week (May 18th to July 24th) Institute will engage students in a number of local and international open source projects. The internships come with a $4000 stipend and include on-campus housing for the duration. Institute participants will work with advisers from the open source community, mentors from Accenture Corporation along side faculty supervisors on projects ranging from Medial Records, Disaster Management, Early Disease detection, literacy application management systems to addressing accessibility issues. We seek students with a strong interest in helping build software that benefits the community while at the same time furthering their own computing skills. Although there is no minimum requirement for an internship, an introductory course in computer science plus a working knowledge of some programming language is preferred. The application deadline is March 1st, 2009. Application review will begin on March 2nd and will continue until all placements are filled.
