[Ubuntu-be] [OT] Huur een student

[.: liezie :.]

Hey,

This seems like a great initiative.
I've just started a course in marketing and for our groupworks and thesis it
would have been great if there was a platform where we could get in touch
with some companies and find great topics to work on. Both parties would
benefit.

I see that you limit yourself to "studentenjobs". Maybe you could broaden
this to study topics and cooperations? This way, the site would feel less
like "yet another job site".
Just my 5 cents. ;-)

Good luck.
Liese.
