UCOSP course for Winter 2010

[Tony]

For anyone in upper years of CS/SE, you might be interested in getting yourself enrolled in UCOSP course.

In short, UCOSP is a cross-University course where groups (6~8) of students (+mentor or two) work on contributing to real (as in in-the-wild) Open Source projects. It is great fun, and certainly a unique experience. For those who are not in co-op programs, this is a must take course, as it can easily be put under "technical work experience". For those in co-op, it will very likely be a different type of an experience.

Either way, you get to meet Greg Wilson, the organizer for the project. He is _the_ person to know if you are at all interested in Toronto's tech scene. Job hookups, events, etc. Both Dan and myself have worked/studied with him, and I personally feel like he has positively influenced me in many ways.

There are still plenty of spots to sign up, and they are looking for more students to take part in the program.

If you are interested, you can ask me more questions, and I would then introduce you with Greg, and try to get you in. You need to be in good standing with your school, and ideally in 3rd+ year; though right now it seems like there could be some flexibility in the requirements.
