This is great! And yes, worth it. The ability to network, get more experience all while aiding in something for the community and getting paid? Nice! In Norway

This is great! And yes, worth it. The ability to network, get more experience all while aiding in something for the community and getting paid? Nice! In Norway there was recently a funding round where personal or corporate initiatives could get funding for "webprenteurship" where you would use open data from departments etc and create something for the greater good. It was funded by the government. Thats somewhat similar although not as directed as this is.
