SocialWaves aims to revolutionize the way people in a common location interact. We link the real world to your mobile by displaying nearby friends and strangers alike. Socializing then becomes as easy as sending an SMS or commenting on a profile. Its been dubbed "The Social Upgrade". More details can be found here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/socialwaves/id531305436?ls=1&mt=8 Android coming next week! Envision the concept on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLZI8az7gEk We are about to enter the sensitive go-to-market phase of the project and I feel that we could greatly benefit from at least one additional App Programmer. SocialWaves was developed on Phonegap, so it contains HTML5 and Native features. We need someone available medium to full time to manage and potentially one day lead the tech challenges to come. Interesting financial or equity compensations are negotiable.

Intermediate GNU/Linux tutorials take place on Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, following up on beginner knowledge. Go to socsinfo.cs.mcgill.ca and search "tutorial" for specific times.

We are looking for a volunteer who would like to help the non-profit organization Rally 4 The Kids. This organization seeks to fundraise for the Montreal Children's Hospital craniofacial department through a yearly tennis tournament. The volunteer's assistance will evidently be mentioned and thanked in the website. We would need someone to help re-vamp and maintain the site. Upload photos, modify text, link to facebook, and improve the esthetic appearance of the site. We have ideas for all of these things so the volunteer would merely implement the changes. Thank you very much! Julian

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHER We are currently seeking motivated students to do undergraduate research in computing-intensive landscape ecology applications. Students will join a dynamic and growing lab of graduate and undergraduate students working on a wide range of landscape ecology projects that demand a heavy component of computing power, including: 1) spatial and statistical patterns of landscape metrics at continental and regional scales 2) regional estimation of lake carbon content with remote sensing, GIS, and Bayesian estimation in 10**6 lakes in Quebec 3) forest connectivity estimation and validation at regional and continental scales, using Circuitscape Successful candidates will have strong programming experience, ideally in R, Matlab, or Python. Depending on the project, specific course or work experience with certain tools will be of especially high value, including: remote sensing, GIS, simulation modeling, data mining techniques in very large data sets and coursework in statistics. In this group, students are soon given real research projects that require them to think broadly and deeply about topics that, if successful, will serve as pilot work for PhD and MS projects. The undergraduate projects of several students have been published in peer-reviewed academic journals. Canadian students who would be eligible for federal and provincial scholarships are given high priority. Interested students can send a CV, an unofficial grade transcript, and the names of three references to:
