Students from all over the world are invited to take their first steps in OpenOffice.org development. A cash bounty up to 3.500 EUR per enhancement or bug fix is available. Participants will benefit by learning from experienced mentors from the worldwide community, gaining valueable skills -- not to mention the opportunity of coding for millions of users worldwide. Mathias Bauer, a lead developer of OpenOffice.org, says, "We think that working on OpenOffice.org is real fun. On the other hand, we kow that it's also a challenge for new developers. But skilled students who have mastered the first steps together with their mentor, will have a great opportunity to work on interesting features in one of the biggest and most important open source projects." Cor Nouws, member of the OpenOffice.org Community Council, adds: "OpenOffice.org is an exciting and challenging project. From our experience, we know that interested students can learn lots of cool stuff. Implementing a feature for millions of users worldwide is a perfect reference for your resume -- and something you can be really proud of!" The Summer Internship Programme follows the community's previous bug-bounty programmes that have been successfully organized in the past. It runs from May 31st to October 31st and accepted students are required to work full-time for a period of about three months on their project. Space is limited, so students are encouraged to apply for the programme now!

[x-post] please recommend a dot matrix printer
by Arun Khan 18 May '10

18 May '10

I am looking for a letter quality dot matrix printer that can handle single page as well as continuous feed paper. Preference is Epson - but open to other brands as well. This search gives a long list <http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/Epson> which is quite daunting. A colleague recommended LX300+II but it is not listed above. I am not sure if the generic dot matrix (24 pin) driver will work with it or not. I do not want to spend Rs 7500 and find out that it will not work with Linux :) Please suggest brand/model that you have personal experience with under Linux environment (heavy duty usage @ law firm). Thanks in advance. -- Arun Khan

I'd suggest taking the cheapest ADSL modem that Mtnl will give you, and taking a Netgear / Linksys Wireless router. I use a Netgear 54 Mbps WGR 614 <http://cgi.ebay.in/Netgear-54-Mbps-WGR-614-Wireless-WiFi-Router-54-Mbps-/32…> which works very well for a 1500 - 2000 sq feet area. Linux compatibility isn't an issue with it.

GmBH -- what is it?
by Roshan 16 May '10

16 May '10

List, I have been trying to find what 'GmBH' is under the context of a bash shell /Linux distro. Most search engines only return the 'financial' term used in Germany (typically) and some countries in EU. (bailout effect? ;) ) None of them return anything pertinent to Linux or GNU or any other FOSS. Could somebody let me know what that is for? (Was it related to an environment variable?) -- Roshan Baladhanvi
