I am looking for 2 students interested in doing paid, on-campus research/systems work with me this summer. I have funding to support 2 students for 10 weeks at up to 40 hours per week, and there is some flexibility in terms of schedule.
The primary project will be updating and improving XenLabs to get it ready for use in class next year. XenLabs is built on a Python/Xen/Linux base, and I expect that most of our work will be done at a scripting level. Useful background could include Linux/Unix experience, Python programming, shell scripting, security topics, system administration, and/or basic computer networking. However, this is an educational experience, so a 2xx level CS background and a willingness to learn is what is really needed.
If you are interested in working on this project, send an email to Benjamin.Kuperman@oberlin.edu with your relevant background (preferably sometime this week). Feel free to email or talk to me if you have questions about the project or just want more info.

Thinking about applying for jobs or taking the CS GRE for grad school? Worried that your data structures and algorithms knowledge is a bit rusty? Never fear, the CSMC is here for you!
We will be hosting a set of programming skills workshops this semester. During these workshops we will tackle a variety of problems, write our solutions on paper, and then discuss the solutions. As a group, we’ll learn what challenges we face, what approaches to take, and what solutions work the best. Most importantly, however, we will become the best programmers we can be.
First meeting will be Saturday, November 3 from 4-6pm in the CS conference room. Bring pencil and paper as we will be working out most of these problems by hand.
Your tree… it is unbalanced.
UPDATE: CSMC will be holding these workshops on a regular basis. See https://www.cs.oberlin.edu/~csmc/ for details.

Professor Kuperman is looking for students interested in working with him on 2 projects related to computer security this summer. You would be paid for 8-10 weeks of work, up to 40 hours per week with some flexibility as to scheduling.
One project needs students with a strong C programming background and comfort working in Unix environments.
The second project will be building a custom server to be used as part of labs in future security courses. A good background in Linux/Unix is needed, and experience setting up custom systems/distributions would be great.
If you are interested in either or both of these projects, or have questions about them, send email to Benjamin.Kuperman@oberlin.edu by Thursday, February 26.
