Hello!<br>
<br>
I am a full time student studying a degree in Computer Science BSc<br>
Hons at DeMontfort University, Leicester, UK. In a few days I will<br>
begin my final year of the course and as part of the requirements for<br>
the year I have to choose and undertake a final year project.<br>
<br>
I have spent the day trawling through the proposed list of projects<br>
that the university have to put together - and have found them about<br>
as interesting as watching paint dry!<br>
<br>
Then I saw this as part of the criteria;<br>
<br>
3. External projects in collaboration with an external company.<br>
<br>
I have been using Linux (Suse 9.1 Pro & KDE of course!) for nearly a<br>
year now and have become very interested in the Open Source community.<br>
I have thought about joining the KDE team before and it occurred to<br>
me that I could help out as part of my project. I am not the most<br>
competent programmer in the world, but am very interested in testing,<br>
design and HCI.<br>
<br>
I was wondering if you had any "set" projects for students, or<br>
something that I could work on for say, 6 -7 months.<br>
<br>
I would very much like to get involved and help out as I am a huge fan<br>
of KDE. If you could advise me on what action to take next and<br>
whether you think it would be suitable for me to join I would be very<br>
grateful.<br>
<br>
Many thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.<br>
