Finally, as the Xen.org community is an open source project, we don’t have budget available to pay a salary for this internship. However, we believe that the skills obtained and recommendations from Xen.org community members will be highly valuable for the intern selected.
Please submit your resume/CV to stephen.spector@xen.org. The submission process will be open from April 21, 2009 through May 8, 2009. The community will review all resumes and contact several people for phone interviews with a final selection by May 15, 2009. The final work dates will then be set based on the intern’s school schedule.
