Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?

I’m looking for a summer intern to hack on Google Chrome/Chromium. Someone with WebKit or GTK experience would be great. Strong C++ skills is a requirement because internships are short and I want someone who can get up to speed quickly.

Better yet, check out the source, build it, then jump onto #chromium on freenode and try to fix some bugs. Having a patch or two contributed will go a long way.

If you’re interested, please send your resume to tony at chromium dot org.

Thanks!
