Please help us bring new talent into the Drupal community.

Our student teams tend to have good skills in requirements analysis and UI design and evaluation. They are not all programmers, though we try to make sure each team has at least one person who can write a few lines of PHP to customize a site.

For project mentors, we’re looking for experienced drupal consultants. A mentor will review a series of deliverables (see the 2007 project reports) and offer sage advice about how to interact with the client and how to make best use of available social and technical resources in the drupal community. In the 2007 version of the course, some of the teams made more use of their mentors than others did. But even the most intense engagement amounted to just an hour or two every couple of weeks. So it's not a huge time commitment.

If you might be available to mentor a student team working on a project from January-April 2008, please send email to the instructors, Paul Resnick and/or Mark Ackerman.
