Hi,
I am Waqas Ahmed from Pakistan, attending Software as a Service course offered by you. I noticed many students required the book (better if free) own by you, i found an opportunity for you to make it available free! and thought to share it with you. Here it is
Do you own the rights to a textbook that you are willing to share with our project? We will offer you a $20,000 award if you submit your textbook to us and it is accepted for use in our course materials.

Hope your thrust for spreading knowledge to humanity will let you ponder over this offer!
Thank You

I suggest you come to the monthly Ruby Meetups hosted at Cal : ruby.meetup.com/81
There’s always an opportunity to pitch opps to both students and experienced Rails developers.
cheers,

Hello Dr. Fox,
My name is Francis Kong, a Cal grad – Class of ‘91. I’ve founded a company called EdgeOnCollege that provides SAS and other services for colleges to develop their Alumni/Student Mentorship programs. Cal is one of our biggest clients and we are currently offering a paid internship to a CS student who has some basic experience in RoR (and possibly Java as well). In the internship, he/she would be given projects and mentoring to hone and sharpen their skill. We like to ask if you know of any students that would be good candidates for us to meet for this internship?
Thank you for your time & All the Best,
Francis Kong, MD
