Student Project Opportunities

Hi All,

I am not an educator myself though I didn't do a bad job with my
kids. 

But I do have a number of friends that are in higher education and one
of their most perplexing chores at times is helping undergrad, Masters
and PhD students develop solid, meaningful project ideas.  

I believe that I have developed an idea that can help in some cases.  

I am the leader of an open source software project that is focused on a
leading edge information model that provides semantic interoperability
between healthcare systems of all types.  

Within this project and within the broader open source communities there
are opportunities for both applied and theoretical projects.  Of course
as a project lead I do have a preference for the applied type. 

There are opportunities not only for the obvious programmer, IT analyst
types.  But also in economics, social sciences, business,  and of course
all of the healthcare domains in general.  

I will volunteer my time to help mentor your students on how open source
communities work.  I have over 15 years experience working with free
software and more than 10 of those specifically in healthcare. I hope
that many of them work directly or indirectly on my project. I will
provide all of the support I possibly can for them.

What I expect from the student is that they will participate in and
