    Hi I am looking to get companies involved in student internships. Our students are in their 3rd year of a computer games development course in Ireland and are proficient in C++. I'd like to see your feedback on the possibility of traditional internships where the student works in the company or remotely. Remote work entails the student working on programming projects from Ireland on an unpaid basis. If you think this is a runner please post. If some companies are interested in this I will attend the event and make my pitch.

It'll be the same process as last year, so you can just read last year’s announcement again () and skip straight to making a topic suggestion (something you’d like to listen to) or talk proposal (something you’d like to speak about) in a new thread on the mailing list
