It is also mandatory in Brazil, for many graduate courses.

Well, I just get involved with gnome, so I don't know about the past,
but I liked the idea. Currently we can find many skilled programmers,
marketers and designers (just to cite a few) that are engaged in some
level with free software ideology, but aren't involved with any project.

This could stimulate develop talents. :)

Free Software Foundation offer an internship programme non-paid[1], as
also the Free Software Foundation Europe [2], with the latter being paid
"a small remuneration to cover basic living expenses" [2].

It is also a good idea that has the same effect of stimulate talents and
free software professionalism.

Free Software Foundation has a place to job offering, with the usual
price of $250 for 30 days ad [3].
