For students, apprentices, mentors, or just hackers that want to put their hands on something new or out of their comfort zone.
Please mention also if you're willing to hire a remote intern.
On the other hand, as the hiring startup, having the intern there means you can better coach them and squeeze better results out of them. The starting productivity of an untrained intern is negative (they take time away from you), and how quickly you get to productive depends on how well you can teach them.
Get local internships, imho.
Indeed Google is not an startup an GSoC is about mentorship not about profits.
Anyway the thread is about anykind of interns positions, not only about remote interns positions.
---edit
GSoC == Google Summer of Code, an mentorship program hosted by Google every summer.
I encouraged all HN students to apply to it. Is fun, and you will learn a lot.
We do a lot of NLP and big data number crunchey stuff, too, if you're looking to work with that.
We've had a few interns this year, and I love working with good people who are willing to learn and build great shit.
I'm the CTO of Zazu. Get in touch with me at marc@getzazu.com
We're based out of Boston, but you can work from anywhere.
We make a unified power, control, and environmental sensing platform for LED lights in commercial buildings. We're looking for some interns to start in early 2011 or this summer. Great place to work for those interested in sensor systems, power system design, and user experience.
