[Systers-dev] Summer of Code Volunteer

[Anne Gunn]

Robin, Jen,

As I said at GHC09, I'd be very interested in mentoring. 

Skills:
Python, sql/mysql, code reading, debugging, figuring out what/where/when to try changes in relatively big, sometimes brittle bodies of code (also C++, C, C#, and some java and php but I don' think any of those are relevant).  Plus, I'm used to working remotely, primarily by email.

Limitations:
Your mailman development environment and tools are pretty foreign to me so, for example, I probably wouldn't be ANY help in getting the dev environment set up.  And the student might have to remote me in from time to time OR supply me with an up-to-date dev VM so I can see what she/he sees in order to be the most helpful.  I'm also not super familiar with the whole open source delivery-by-patch thing.  I'd probably be more use on either a new feature project or the bug fixing project than on any of the work to integrate the customizations more closely with mailman.

5+ hours a week would be a stretch.  Not sure if I should be a primary or a secondary, I guess I leave that up to you.

Thanks for asking,
ag
