Announce a vacancy for a Meteor.js internship?

[michielbdejong]

We could post a vacancy on our website, for instance 6 months internship, paid 500 euros per month, for a Meteor.js intern. Once it's on the site we could post it on various job boards and see who sends us their CV! :)

Maybe that would work better than the Twitter/mailing list messages we've tried so far?

It would require an intern manager. @piks3l what do you think?

To give q bit of context, this idea came out after our discussion with Craig from the Web Foundation, there was a possibility they can help us financially speaking but nothing sure so far. We discussed it with @michielbdejong and it seemed as a good idea but I haven't thought it through yet.

To manage the intern, yes of course that is something that need to be present. Nonetheless who? Michiel would be good for the technical issues as I don't know much about Meteor yet (I intend to learn). To be honest, the only thing I know is that the edit.tosdr.org tool needs to be developed further and an intern would be a good opportunity for that. Our team could managed it and I can, if necessary, ensure a daily presence (but how do we count that?).

I'm really interested to hear your viewpoints.

Thanks for the context. If the funding and contract were actually handled by the Web Foundation, that would make things way easier! My guess is also that Michiel would be a better fit as it's a technical internship

We probably don't have time to help an intern who wants to learn meteor, but we can review their pull requests. I agree we need to offer them an office to work at, otherwise it's not much of an "internship". I could also ask people at FabLab Berlin if they could spare a desk to house an intern for us. Let's see if we can organize this.
