Why spend your summer working on FOSS?
|
|
When you work in the open on free software, you create a body of work that follows you for the rest of your life. Rather than a coding assignment done by thousands of other students and relegated to the bottom of the bit drawer at semester's end, working in FOSS is a chance to contribute to a living project.
|
|
Working in FOSS gives you a chance to:
|
|
Work with real world large codebases.
|
|
Collaborate with real engineers and other professional experts.
|
|
Contribute to something meaningful while learning and earning student value.
|
|
Learn tools and processes that are just like what you are going to use if you work in technology after graduation.
|
|
Make friends and contacts around the globe.
