[21:08:58] o/ SoniWP [21:09:11] SSH doesn't work from your campus? [21:09:26] Didnt until a few days ago, at least. [21:09:44] We have an arcane campus internet administration. [21:10:01] Even the IRC ports are blocked. I'm currently using IRC-Cloud :) [21:10:41] So until a few days ago, when we got the SSH ports unblocked for a mediawiki hackathon, I had practically little to no access to SSH [21:10:53] Yikes [21:11:23] I know. [21:13:48] Even now, it's mildly problematic and we are still trying to figure out some workarounds, if possible [21:15:07] halfak: Is there any ways for me to contribute solidly without needing Port 22? I cannot see any as of yet? [21:15:38] Not really. I think port 22 is required for working on the servers you'll need. Can you get an exception at your U? [21:16:56] Trying for it. But as I said, the administration is notoriously arcane. I required about two weeks to even get port 29418 unblocked for like three days. [21:33:31] halfak: Actually there's one more thing I wanted to ask about. [21:34:28] So basically during Wikiconference India, I met Tigue Flanaggan and others from the Foundation. And we were discussing about how the FOundation internships and others were structured [21:35:18] Through that discussion, I realised that I could potentially use my four months of college after December as an internship. Only I did not know where I could use them. [21:35:56] Would you happen to have any idea how the current internships are structured and which teams might be looking for one? [21:44:47] SoniWP, I don't know about any active intern programs for technology. I know legal has one. [21:45:11] But most teams have money for contractors. [21:48:41] Ah I see. And do teams take interns even if there is no active program yet? [21:49:02] For example, what might be the chance if suppose I wanted to intern for Research? [21:49:54] SoniWP, we might be able to set up a contract, but we'd need a project in place. We're struggling to fund the people who are already working with us and completing projects [21:51:13] Hm. Mostly I am looking for experience more than anything (that and finishing my college credits), so I actually strongly prefer an internship than a contract. If that makes sense. [21:51:32] Is there any chance you could ask around on that possibility?
