Hey Guys, Many of you are probably already aware that UMass Amherst has a very active Linux community and that much research is being performed about the Open Source community under Charlie Schweik. They recently received a 5-year $500,000 grant from the NSF to study Open Source collaboration, and have IBM funding as well. Charlie Schweik emailed me and mentioned that he is looking to hire a student programmer who is familiar with Linux/Open Source. The reason I am asking here is because I am hoping that some of you may know people not currently connected to the UMassLUG, where we normally send messages. So, if you have friends (or kids!) at UMass Amherst, please put them in touch with Charlie Schweik (cc'd). The University is really a pioneer in promoting Open Source software collaboration, and I am glad that I was able to work for IBM and be a part of it while a student there. You can read some of Charlie's (et al) papers below... http://people.umass.edu/cschweik/ -- Kristian Erik Hermansen -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
