SFLC Internship Program

The Software Freedom Law Center is currently seeking technology and administrative interns for the summer of 2010. All our internships are unpaid, but students are encouraged to inquire at their school about possible funding available for internships at 501(c)(3) charitable organizations.

Technology Interns

Technology internship applicants should have a demonstrated interest in software freedom and should be able to program in Perl, Python, C, or C++, and have a basic understanding of a code revision system (such as Mercurial, Git, or Svn) and project collaboration software (such as Trac or Gna!).

Technology internships are unpaid, but excellent candidates will likely receive assistance from the SFLC in applying for the Google Summer of Code program. Technology interns must work between 2-5 days/week, and work must be performed on-site at SFLC's offices.

Administrative Interns

Administrative interns should have completed at least two years of study in an undergraduate program of study at a four-year college or university, and should have a strong interest in software freedom policy and issues. No specific skills are required. Administrative interns must work between 2-5 days/week, and work must be performed on-site at SFLC's offices. Administrative internships are unpaid.

Term-Time Internships Also Available

Term-time internships may also be available; please indicate in your application if you are applying for term-time work, and for which term.

Application Process

To apply, please send a resume and cover letter, in a free and open format, to SFLC's Executive Secretary, Ian Sullivan (sullivan@softwarefreedom.org).
