[jbosstools-dev] CCS intern looking at JBoss Tools

[Blake McIvor]

Hello all,

You may remember before Michelle went on leave she mentioned that I was conducting an internship project on creating a Great Getting Started Experience with JBoss Tools. So far things have been running smoothly. I have recently uploaded an overview of the Design Proposal for my software solution to mojo so if anyone is interested in taking a look, perhaps providing some feedback/comments or ideas if you have any, it would be greatly appreciated. 

While the framework of the solution is in the works, concurrently while developing I will be looking at the specific content to include within the framework to ensure the user gets the help they need to get started, so any help or suggestions there would be infinitely helpful towards the project.

The doc can be found at

Thanks,

Blake.

Subject: CCS intern looking at JBoss Tools

Hello,

I recently proposed a project for an intern from a local Brisbane uni and
Blake McIvor has taken up the challenge for the next 12 weeks. The project
he is undertaking is about designing and implementing a 'Getting Started'
(onboarding) experience for software. With JBDS and JBT still close to my
heart, I have proposed that he use JBT as the software for which to design
the onboarding experience. Once he has a design proposal, we'll be back to
get some feedback from the JBDS/JBT team. He's signed up for the JBDS/JBT
mailing lists and joined the irc channels so you will be seeing him about.

I'll let Blake introduce himself:

*My name is Blake McIvor, I'm a Software Engineering student from Griffith
Uni, Nathan campus. I'm excited to be given the opportunity of a Red Hat
internship and I look forward to working with everyone. I chose Red Hat
because I have a strong interest in the open-source development philosophy
and I believe an internship at Red Hat is a fantastic place to start.
Outside of work I have a keen interest in music, you'll see me at a gig on
the weekend if I have the time and of course I don't mind playing the odd
game or two. I'd like to thank everyone I have met so far for the warm
welcome and I look forward to meeting everyone else over my time here at
Red Hat.*

Any questions or concerns, please do get back to me. I'm due to start
parental leave at the end of this week for the next 6 months. Ben Long, my
colleague in CCS, will be taking over managing Blake and this project once
I start my leave.

I'm confident Blake can contribute something innovative and useful for JBT,
Michelle
