+= Hiring =
+
+We're presently hiring two undergraduate project programmers (UPPs).  Joe Miklojcik (jfm3@winlab.rutgers.edu) has documentation on applicants and their interviews.  Here was the job posting to the ruslug (http://ruslug.rutgers.edu) mailing list.

+  Subject:      P/T Work for WINLAB
+  Date:         Wed, 13 Sep 2006 13:59:54 -0400
+
+
+  I have an excellent opportunity for two undergraduate student system
+  programmers.  This is part time work doing programming, system
+  administration, and network administration for WINLAB, the Wireless
+  Information Network Laboratory, as part of an NSF grant funded research
+  project.
+
+  Requirements:
+
+  - You should be personally interested in Linux and/or networking.
+    Even a little experience running Linux systems or complex networks
+    is a big plus.
+
+  - You must be able to work at least 5 unscheduled and 5 scheduled
+    hours a week on Busch campus, without becoming distracted from your
+    studies.  Having your own car is a huge plus.
+
+  - You must be a first, second, or third-year student.  You should
+    be planning to major in a technical field, such as Engineering or
+    Computer Science.
+
+  - You need not have any prior work experience, although any you have
+    will be considered.
+
+  Benefits:
+
+  - Offices on Busch Campus.
+
+  - Excellent for your Resume or CV.
+
+  - We insist that your studies come first. Time off for study or to
+    match the University calendar is easy to come by.
+
+  - Interesting, challenging, and satisfying work.
+
+  - Summer work available.

+= Offices =
+UPPs generally don't have cars, so we're giving them hotel-style offices in room 513 at CoRE.
+
+We're going to try to make the scheduled time for both students the same so someone can meet with them at least a half day each week if need be.
+
+We need to get two "slash cards" for these students.
+
+= Potential Projects =
+We need to clean out our rooms at CoRE, and set up workstations appropriately.  The network there also seems to be in a curious arrangement.
+
+We need to move some stuff to storage in the old Winlab building.
+
+We need someone to do maintenance on, and extensions to, Trac.
+
+We need incremental improvements to WINLAB infrastructure, such as moving from NIS+ to LDAP.
+
+Ivan claims there is a "near infinite amount of work."
