[sheflug] OpenUsability Sponsored Student Project: GIMP

[Gary Stimson <bulk [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

> OpenUsability Sponsored Student Projects: GIMP
> 
> OpenUsability (www.openusability.org) is an initiative that brings
> Open
> Source Software (OSS) development and usability together. This
> symbiosis
> is beneficial for both sides: Developers can make difficult user
> interface (UI) decisions together with usability specialists, while
> usability specialists can explore and further develop their skills in
> real-world projects without the pressure of a commercial market.
> 
> Likewise, OpenUsability's mentored student projects are an excellent
> way
> for usability, user-interface design, and interaction design students
> to
> gain experience in the interdisciplinary and collaborative
> development
> of user interface solutions in international software projects.
> 
> We are looking for a student who works on the user interface for the
> next generation of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (www.gimp.org).
> During a three-month cooperation, you will closely work together with
> Peter Sikking,  principal interaction architect at M+MI Works
> (www.mmiworks.net). Activities include methodically performing a full
> expert evaluation and analysis of the software, being fully involved
> in
> every decision, and performing the bulk of the project work. You will
> have a great opportunity to learn the ropes in interaction
> architecture
> in a project that matters.
> 
> For details and information how to apply, see
> www.openusability.org/studentprojects.
