Before the end of March, I begin to take inventory of the web site projects I've built on the side. At this time each year, I have to consider how to take these sites to the next level when I have the extra help the interns can provide. Though I have the abilities to do these things myself, I don't have the time. Five or more interns provide fresh perspectives, energy, time to learn, and the brute force to make progress towards your goals.

By 2009, I had several sites that were tracking alright on Google searches. My sites had Google Analytics with 1 year or more of web traffic history. They were presentable and did a good job of getting my message across. In early March, I invested a few vacation days to go to the Drupalcon conference in Washington, D.C. This was an eye opener that offered a number of leading edge ideas for what folks were doing on their professional projects. It's useful to go to these things and also to join online groups that are talking about what other people are doing.

Things to consider:

• Ask yourself if you want to do a bunch of little things on a lot of sites or
• Do you want to focus on a smaller number of sites and get them further along
• You can always take features built for one site and propagate them to another if there is properly documented steps on how to do it from your interns.

This wiki could serve a lot of folks including:

• People who want to remotely or locally run a web internship without too much formaility.
• Programmers looking for extra hands who can move your Drupal projects faster in exchange for some coordination and mentorship.
• Programmers on the management track looking to get experience with managing / outsourcing.
• Filipinos abroad looking for a general way to donate their expertise in computer science towards helping students in the Philippines

"You say you want a revolution? Well, you know, we all want to change the world." - The Beatles

Abstract:

The Cognitive Metaphors Filipino Web Internship program started in 2006 with one student. In 2009, I took on 5 students to continue to build out web communities that I am passionate about using the Drupal content management system. My overall motivation is to leverage my talents and eventually create opportunities for my fellow Filipinos and family back home in the town of Plaridel, Bulacan, Philippines. My grandfather, Emilio Garcia, once served as Mayor of Plaridel during the Japanese occupation in WWII, 1945.

The following is a cookbook that I hope others will follow to promote interest in Computer Science in the Philippines. Please feel free to adapt these ideas to the communities that you are most passionate about. Young people need many more opportunities to apply significant hours of supervised practice if they are to become proficient in this craft. Malcom Gladwell's Outliers claims you need 10,000 hours of practice to be really good in any endeavor you wish to master.
