Free stuf ... Can you help a doctorial student out? [Scotland only]

I had lunch yesterday with Lisa Lui, a bright and enthusiastic doctorial student at a Glasgow university.  She is about to kick off the research phase of her doctorate and that means she needs to talk to Agile managers. 

Specifically,
Lisa would love to get some hands on time - days, weeks, perhaps even months - working with a Scottish based Agile team. She says she'll do it for free ... but I reckon it'd be cool if there were some way that she could earn a little money - you remember what it's like to be a student.  She's versatile, but, admits that she has little industrial expereince.  She does teach other students how to code and how to design databases.

If you are a Scotland based Agile Manager, can you help Lisa?  Do you know someone who might be able to help?

Hmmm ...

In fact ... now that I think about it, one of my big peeves is that I think that modern day software developers DON'T know enough about database design. Lisa does and she teaches it professionally.

Let's see if we can turn this into something where YOU BENEFIT lots.

Do your developers know enough about database design?  Do you think they could do with a little refresher course?  If so then Lisa would probably be willing to do free training - which would cost you hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds normally - in exchange for letting her help you out on your project.

Email me: Clarke.Ching@gmail.com if you think you can help.  Thanks!
