TimeFinder is a free software which automatically optimizes schedules of schools and universities. The algorithm is able to optimize the timetable of hundreds of events and persons within minutes. Manual timetabling for the human timetabler will be easier via a graphical user interface.

I would like that you contact me via the mailing list or direct mail (peathal at yahoo dot de).
[edit] About you
By participating in the development of TimeFinder, interested students will get an opportunity to improve their development skills in Java and software architecture. Students could learn about UI design, database tooling, test-driven development and maybe the most important one: timetabling.
Students will contribute as soon as they start.

[edit] Mentor Capacity
- Students: I'm interested in mentoring students who'd like to work on Xapian or projects related to Xapian.
- Educators: I'm also interested in working with educators, particularly those teaching courses related to Free Software/Open Source and/or Information Retrieval.
In addition to mentoring and collaborating online, I would be open to mentoring and collaborating in person, and also presenting or attending talks, workshops, etc. around Germany
