<div> </div>
<div>I'm currently in my second year of a computer science course at university, and next year is a 12-month industrial placement.</div>
<div>I know that a lot of you have contacts in the open-source world, so does anybody know an open-source company with a 12</div>
<div>month placement scheme, or point me to someone who does?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,<br>
</div>
