> project?
> Here is your chance! OpenUsability is sponsoring their Season of
> Usability,
> an opportunity for students to participate in an interesting open source
> project with the aid of design and technical mentors. OpenUsability is a
> world-wide non-profit organization based in Germany whose mission is to
> bring
> usability and open source together.
>
> These projects are mentored by professionals in the industry who are also
> very
> involved in usability. If accepted, these projects are structured enough
> and
> provide enough work to fulfill most independent study requirements.
> Additionally, students receive a $700USD stipend for their time which is a
> good amount to cover university fees.

> Season of Usability 2006/2007 is part of a series of sponsored student
> projects to encourage students of usability, user-interface design, and
> interaction design to get involved with Freee/Libre/Open-Source Software
> (FLOSS) projects. FLOSS offers an excellent way to gain experience in the
> interdisciplinary and collaborative development of user interface
> solutions
> in international software projects.
>
> During a three-month cooperation, you will closely work together with
> experienced professionals and get insights in to their way of work.
> Depending
> on your location, you will be invited to a meeting with the development
> and
> usability team. Otherwise the collaboration will take place via the
> established channels of OSS development - email, IRC, VoIP, and etc.
> Season of Usability projects are sponsored with $700USD. An involvement of
> 15
> hours per week is expected. The sponsorship will be paid after the
> successful
> accomplishment of the project goals.
