Dear list,
As I'm new to this list, let me introduce myself shortly. My name is
Roel, and I live in the Netherlands. Projects I (have) work(ed) on:
* GNU InklingReader: https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/inklingreader/
* clmedview: https://github.com/roelj/clmedview/ (sorry, it's Github;
This was an internship project as well).
I've been following GNU Guix for about two years now (admittedly on and
off) and I used it in combination with Debian.
For a bachelor's degree in software engineering, I have to do an
internship. Naturally, I would like to contribute to a GNU project, and
my particular interest goes to GNU Guile and/or GNU Guix, because
I think Scheme is an elegant language, GNU Guix is great for a user's
freedom as well as a beautiful approach to package management, and I've
had a very pleasant experience interacting with the people working on
this project (thank you so much).
The internship should be in the form of a project that can be done in
about 800 hours (spread over 20 weeks) of work. For this I need:
* a mentor who has at least two hours a week (~ 40 hours in total) time
for guiding me;
- This should take place from February 15, 2016 to July 17, 2016
* the assignment must cover three cycles of the software engineering
lifecycle (roughly speaking: [Maintain/analyse/advise/design/implement]
a software system).
* A subproject that I can work on by myself (with a little guidance
from a mentor)
If anyone could help me, I can provide the GNU Guix project with:
* 800 hours of work on the project (minus some overhead of writing and
doing presentations at my university);
* Some exposure of this project to people at my university;
* After completion I would like to continue contributing to the
project.
* Free beers (or non-alcoholic drinks) at FOSDEM, in case anyone of
this project will be there.
So, does anyone see the possibility to be a mentor for my internship?
If so, what areas in the project could I contribute to? (I need some
guidance formulating the exact assignment (before it can be approved by
my university).)
Thank you for reading my long e-mail.
Kind regards,
Roel Janssen
