<h3>How Does It Work?</h3>
<p>
If you are familiar with the <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/">Google
Summer of Code program</a>, then you have the basic idea. The main
difference is that this is a year-round program, accommodating
students and non-students with flexible project dates ranging from 2
to 12 months. Another difference is that it is a 100% unfunded,
volunteer experience. But from <a
href="http://nextnucleus.org/?p=188">past testimonials</a>, you'll
see that there are rewards greater than mere cash. Also browse the
list of <a href="gsoc/alumni.html"> accepted NRNB Academy
participants and their projects</a>.
<p>NRNB Academy organizes and matches projects and participants,
providing structure, guidelines and outreach. The details and
execution of each project is ultimately in the hands of you and your
mentor. Most participants work remotely, staying in touch and
coordinating with mentors and other project contributors via email,
IRC, video chat, phone, etc. If you are near a mentor site or have
an itch to travel, sometimes office space can be arranged.</p>
<p>
<b> Step 1: Determine if the program is right for you.</b> Carefully
read through the program description and <a href="academy-faq.html">FAQ</a>.
Contact <a href="mailto:[email protected]">the admin</a>
with any questions not covered in these pages. <i>Note: asking
questions answered in the FAQ may count against you!</i>
</p>
<p>
<b> Step 2: Browse the current project ideas.</b> We maintain a
running <a href="academy-ideas.html">list of potential project
ideas</a>. Do a bit of background research on each idea that interests
you. Or propose your own project idea related to NRNB tools and
resources. Fill out the <a href="academy-admissions.html">Admissions
Form</a> to start the ball rolling.
</p>
<p>
<b> Step 3: Connect with your potential mentors.</b> After you've
filled out the Admissions Form, the admin will follow up with you
directly and put you in contact with your potential mentors. This
begins the dialog about whether a given project is a good fit for
you and the mentor.
</p>
<p>
<b> Step 4: Submit your project proposal for approval.</b> NRNB
Academy has a rolling enrollment, accepting members year-round. <b><i>Together</i></b>
with your potential mentor, you will prepare and submit a detailed
project proposal. Find a template application and instructions in
the <a href="academy-faq.html">FAQ</a> <i>(which you should have
already read in Step 1)</i>.
