You may take on a variety of different projects related to the software we create at the Guardian Project. Ultimately, what you get out of this internship will be up to you, we will not force you to work on something you find tedious. There is room for software development, documentation, patches, security auditing, activism, grant writing, system building and other ways of participating in the community.* Expectations*We expect that you will show some initiative and enthusiasm in learning about the internals of our community such that you feel comfortable asking questions and participating. You have the opportunity to work independently on various projects and should be comfortable with this.
