Is there life after Summer of Code??
Oh yes!!… SoC 09 interns are getting ready to finish off their studies, move into contract or permanent roles in their host companies or finding other opportunities for the next step in their IT careers.
We want to stay in touch! Please join our LinkedIn group – “Summer of Code – New Zealand”. This is where we’ll post ad hoc job opportunities, notices, announcements, and it’s a great way of staying connected to the wider community of SoC alumni & supporters.
So – what’s it for?
Maybe you’ve got an idea for a Bootcamp topic? Want to suggest a seminar speaker? There’s a job board, and lots of space to discuss stuff.
But mostly, LinkedIn is about staying connected.
As the sun sets over SoC 09, we thought we’d better squeeze in just 1 more party. 40 interns, 30 companies, you guys have been great… there’s been challenges & successes, lots of learning and a whole pile of coding! Although some internships are running through till the end of Feb, most are finishing in the next week or so.
We’re going to wrap it all up with a BBQ, hear about some amazing IT careers happening in Wellington (Alan from Trademe, plus some high-flying SoC alumni), and generally catch up with interns, companies, bootcamp & seminar presenters, sponsors & supporters.
Let us thank you for being part of an awesome Summer of Code programme, share stories & celebrate the GREAT work you’ve done.
