Re: [Orekit Developers] SOCIS 2012

Luc,

Some questions:

1. Does the student come to the CS office in Toulouse at all or does he 
only work from home?

2. Do we assume that the student brings his own Eclipse/Java environment?

3. Will CS work with local university to try to find students for this 
program?

regards,

Paul
