<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Hi&nbsp;all,&nbsp;&nbsp;Please&nbsp;forward&nbsp;this&nbsp;to&nbsp;your&nbsp;groups.&nbsp;&nbsp;(Also&nbsp;feel&nbsp;free&nbsp;to&nbsp;break&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>into&nbsp;a&nbsp;discussion&nbsp;as&nbsp;to&nbsp;whether&nbsp;or&nbsp;how&nbsp;students&nbsp;are&nbsp;involved&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>perl&nbsp;community,&nbsp;what&nbsp;we&nbsp;can&nbsp;do&nbsp;to&nbsp;connect&nbsp;with&nbsp;more&nbsp;universities&nbsp;and&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>etc.)</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>The&nbsp;Perl&nbsp;Foundation&nbsp;is&nbsp;participating&nbsp;in&nbsp;Google's&nbsp;2008&nbsp;Summer&nbsp;of&nbsp;Code(tm)&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>and&nbsp;we&nbsp;have&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot&nbsp;of&nbsp;capable,&nbsp;willing&nbsp;mentors&nbsp;looking&nbsp;forward&nbsp;to&nbsp;working&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>with&nbsp;some&nbsp;talented,&nbsp;driven&nbsp;students.&nbsp;&nbsp;So,&nbsp;we&nbsp;would&nbsp;like&nbsp;you&nbsp;to&nbsp;help&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>find&nbsp;those&nbsp;students&nbsp;(and&nbsp;quickly&nbsp;--&nbsp;the&nbsp;students&nbsp;must&nbsp;apply&nbsp;before&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>March&nbsp;24th.)</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>This&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;rare&nbsp;opportunity&nbsp;for&nbsp;students&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;a&nbsp;chance&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;a&nbsp;paid&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>summer&nbsp;of&nbsp;hacking&nbsp;on&nbsp;exciting&nbsp;projects&nbsp;like&nbsp;Parrot,&nbsp;Perl&nbsp;6,&nbsp;Moose,&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Jifty,&nbsp;SVK,&nbsp;Catalyst,&nbsp;or&nbsp;their&nbsp;very&nbsp;own&nbsp;Perl&nbsp;modules&nbsp;or&nbsp;applications.&nbsp;&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>It&nbsp;also&nbsp;brings&nbsp;new&nbsp;talent&nbsp;into&nbsp;the&nbsp;community&nbsp;and&nbsp;gives&nbsp;the&nbsp;student&nbsp;a&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>hefty&nbsp;"real&nbsp;world"&nbsp;experience&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;knowledgable&nbsp;mentor.&nbsp;&nbsp;Further,&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>employers&nbsp;love&nbsp;to&nbsp;see&nbsp;this&nbsp;sort&nbsp;of&nbsp;demonstration&nbsp;of&nbsp;teamwork,&nbsp;handling&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>deadlines,&nbsp;communication&nbsp;skills,&nbsp;resourcefulness&nbsp;and&nbsp;etc.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>We're&nbsp;looking&nbsp;for&nbsp;promising&nbsp;students&nbsp;who&nbsp;are&nbsp;interested&nbsp;in&nbsp;open&nbsp;source&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>(or&nbsp;maybe&nbsp;you&nbsp;know&nbsp;someone&nbsp;who&nbsp;*should*&nbsp;be&nbsp;interested&nbsp;in&nbsp;open&nbsp;source.)&nbsp;&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Knowledge&nbsp;of&nbsp;Perl&nbsp;is&nbsp;optional&nbsp;if&nbsp;the&nbsp;project&nbsp;is&nbsp;Parrot-related.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>student&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;need&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;an&nbsp;expert&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;problem&nbsp;domain&nbsp;(after&nbsp;all,&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>learning&nbsp;is&nbsp;part&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;process),&nbsp;but&nbsp;should&nbsp;bring&nbsp;a&nbsp;big&nbsp;pile&nbsp;of&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>creativity,&nbsp;problem-solving&nbsp;skills,&nbsp;and&nbsp;determination.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Students&nbsp;should&nbsp;review&nbsp;the&nbsp;page&nbsp;of&nbsp;suggested&nbsp;projects,&nbsp;but&nbsp;are&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>encouraged&nbsp;to&nbsp;bring&nbsp;their&nbsp;own&nbsp;proposals&nbsp;(those&nbsp;are&nbsp;often&nbsp;the&nbsp;best.)&nbsp;&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>The&nbsp;most&nbsp;important&nbsp;first&nbsp;step&nbsp;is&nbsp;getting&nbsp;in&nbsp;touch&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;community&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>and&nbsp;discussing&nbsp;their&nbsp;project&nbsp;idea&nbsp;with&nbsp;potential&nbsp;mentors.</DIV>

<DIV>they&nbsp;are&nbsp;paying&nbsp;the&nbsp;students.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;student&nbsp;must&nbsp;be&nbsp;able&nbsp;to&nbsp;show&nbsp;their&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>eligibility&nbsp;regarding&nbsp;enrollment&nbsp;and&nbsp;employability.)</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Remember,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Perl&nbsp;community&nbsp;draws&nbsp;talent&nbsp;from&nbsp;many&nbsp;fields,&nbsp;so&nbsp;if&nbsp;you&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>came&nbsp;to&nbsp;Perl&nbsp;from&nbsp;a&nbsp;non-computer-science&nbsp;major&nbsp;and&nbsp;still&nbsp;have&nbsp;contacts&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>in&nbsp;that&nbsp;department&nbsp;from&nbsp;your&nbsp;university,&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;probably&nbsp;worth&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>mentioning&nbsp;to&nbsp;them.</DIV>
