Looking for an intern to play with a Linux-powered robot fleet

Sat Aug 1 10:19:31 EDT 2015

By the looks of it I would assume Joshua's company is offering paid work.
That type of, even green talent is fairly sought after. Plus unpaid is
actually
very legally sketchy ground when it renders something useful to the
offering
company.

In response to Greg's humorous comment. I recently got an unpaid
proposition like that.
Guess its understandable when the entrepreneur is one broke person trying
to scrap something
out of nothing (which it is in the case of my "offer").
Maybe I'm only sympathetic because been that person myself.
However I feel like in our industry if one has put their time in they
 likely have something to offer beyond a reference or a potential cut of
kickstarter in return.

For example I'm looking for a couple of details that would be nice (but not
necessary)
to help my open source project and maybe my business.
 **The project is a chorded keyer that looks to ease the learning curve of
typing.
Looking for
 --- PCB design files
 --- Case Design files (maybe make some prints given access to an
affordable option)
 --- Assistance with a prototype type correction system (node or python)
 --- Help getting into OpenCV, webRTC, Sockets.io (or other interest)
Offering
 --- Assistance with a organizing and structuring a complex arduino or like
embedded project
      into manageable asynchronous pieces.
 --- Help getting into to C/C++, Python, Node, Express.js, MongoDB,
 --- Written help with presenting your project to others, like scripting a
video

Maybe that example is less hypothetical than I had intended...
Sorry for the digression Joshua,
