Hello guys,

I am a lecturer at Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics and I have a proposal for you.

My students have to make their science projects during this half-year. I would like to involve some of them in PostgreSQL to give them an opportunity to work on a real project instead of writing their own equation solvers or any other useless apps.

Here is my vision of such collaboration:

- I ask students who would like to work on PostgreSQL project and we choose one
- You select the supervisor for the student. The supervisor will be the student's "boss" and will give him tasks and help in solving complex problems.
- The project should take student two-three months of time and you can decide can be developed by student during this term.
- The student discusses tasks the supervisor and agrees them with me.
- When the tasks are agreed the student begins working on them and writing his Project report.
- During the term I coordinate the student and solve organization problems.
- When the term is finished the student should complete all tasks, agreed on the beginning of the term and also the student should finish his Project report.
- The student can continue working with you after the science project is finished, if he likes it.

There some big advantages in such collaboration for all participants:
- You get a contributor that is interested in working on your project.
- The student gets the experience in working on a real project.
- If PostgreSQL is interested to student he will continue working on it after the science project is finished.

I will not require any payments for the student.

Please consider my proposal and tell me what do you think about such collaboration.
You can contact me by e-mail, Google talk: rprikhodchenko(at)gmail(dot)com or Skype: rprykhodchenko

Sincerely,
Roman Prykhodchenko
