Software Development Intern in Washington, DC

Interested in XP but haven't had a chance to try it?

There's a Software Development Intern position open at the
Grameen
Foundation.

In the interests of being up-front about our XP-ness, here's
a rundown
of how we stack up:

* Co-located team.  No, not even close.  In the recent past
and near
  future, we have development going on in Bangalore (India),
Hyderabad
  (India), Cairo (Egypt), Tunisia, New York, Washington,
with various
  individual volunteers in other places and the
non-technical
  employees in Seattle and San Francisco.  We try to keep
  communication going by the usual open source project
means: mailing
  list, IRC, Wiki, etc.

* Continuous integration.  Yes.  We've been pretty
successful at
  getting people to check in frequently, and have had a
cruise control
  server running for most of the duration of the project
(one of your
  duties might be to get it running again and keep it
running).

* Tests.  Our test coverage measured by Cobertura is running
about
  80% (not counting a few major areas - most notably jsp
files).

* Sustainable Pace.  Yes.

* Pairing.  You have to want to pair with me.  100% pairing
is
  unlikely to work (for one thing, two people get sick of
each other
  if there is no rotation or time off), but expect
significant
  pairing.

* Collective Responsibility.  I think I've been pretty good
at getting
  this across.

* Simple design/refactoring/code quality.  Perhaps the
biggest
  challenge, although there has been significant progress. 
See

for a list of
  some of the higher-priority cleanups.

I'd encourage you to go read the articles I've written at
http://jkingdon2000
.blogspot.com/ .  Because I'm the only programmer
in the DC office, you should try to get a feel for whether
you would
enjoy working closely with me.
