I doubt anyone here wants 12 weeks of unpaid work at the FSF, but here's
the off nonetheless.

BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Thursday, May 7, 2009 -- The Free Software
Foundation (FSF) today announced a new internship program for free software
activists, inviting students to apply for its first round of openings by
Monday, May 25th.
The program provides opportunities for participants to work closely with FSF
staff members for twelve-week terms in core areas of the FSF's work,
including
campaign and community organizing, free software licensing, systems and
network
administration, GNU project support, and web development.
"We have provided internships on and off over the years, but we're
excited to
be able to offer these more permanent educational opportunities. We're
looking
forward to working with and learning from students, and I'm glad that as
part
of our continued growth we are able to offer a place where students
concerned
with free software ethics can help advance a cause they care about,"
said John
Sullivan, FSF's operations manager.
The internships are unpaid, but the FSF will provide the documentation
needed
for students to receive funding or credit from outside sources. A limited
number of positions are available, and priority will be given to candidates
able to work full-time on-site at the FSF headquarters in Boston.
Application instructions and further details about the program are
available at
