While I am the Web Team leader at freeculture.org, I’m also a software engineer at Creative Commons. With that hat on, let me invite the students for free culture community to intern with CC in San Francisco.
Jennifer Yip writes on the main CC blog:

CC’s popular summer internship positions are now posted on the Opportunities page! We are looking for motivated students who can spend the summer at the San Francisco office to work with the staff on various projects. This year, we are offering technology, legal, international outreach, and graphic design/media development positions. Please spread the word to qualified students, or apply yourself! We are accepting applications now through March 13th.

The internship is a great way to see San Francisco, contribute your skills (be they in software, law, outreach, or graphic design) to the high-profile projects at Creative Commons. Also, a quick look through the staff page will show you that a good proportion of our current staff started as interns. We do offer interns compensation, which for me was enough to live in San Francisco for a summer and take home a little pocket money. I really appreciated applying my programming skills outside of school; suddenly, my projects don’t all disappear at the end of the semester but continue to support cause of Free Culture.

Get in touch with Jennifer if you have more questions, and be sure to apply by March 13! (You can talk to me, too, but I’ll mostly only know about the technology internship.)
