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
