Re: Traineeships at GNOME

[Sanne te Meerman <sanne opensourceadvies nl>]

Hi Jaap,

Sounds like a good idea. I hope you can use GUADEC for this, as it seems 
now there will be a short session about education during the 
pre-conference. If you could organise something that could attract 
students to this, that would be great. During the pre-conference (Open 
Desktop Day - see 
http://www.guadec.org/index.php/guadec/2010/schedConf/overview#open-desktop-day 
). There will also be attention for the role of education. Your presence 
would be great, and if you have ideas about the strengthening the 
relations between education-community-business, that 'd be very interesting.

Best,
Sanne (GUADEC organisation team-NL).
