Thank you for the additional information about grad student status.

Corporate environments implement a similar status for recent hires.  I
am under the impression that Silicon Valley style looks for the folks
who can be the lead on a project.  The ultimate version of that is
probably an undergraduate that decides to drop out and form a startup.

I am fairly confident there are some here who have applied for
National Science Foundation (NSF) funding for their research.  Could
someone spearhead a request for a grant for any of the Teaching Open
Source initiatives?
