I'm looking for 12 opensource apprentices in 2009

I have been thinking about this topic for a long time. Mainly because of my own personal background, the needs of getting technical "ethic" out to our profession has been my goal for a long time. Lot of people as for my help in this profession, but with my limited two hands, I can only do so much. Doing education take a lot of resource, and my focus may change to money making business instead.
At one point, I'm planning on making a technology professional agent which train and bring up engineers like movie star and trade with different company or industry. But it may end up doing just marketing and missing the idea of making our industry more profession.
Right now I'm working on writing a book of open source and meanwhile I think adopting 12 apprentices will give me some inspiration of topics and direction.
The main idea of the mentoring program is different from intern. My requirement for those apprentices are no older then Freshmen level and willing to join this program for at least one year. Meeting up once a week to communicate with me for assignment and once a month community activity. Blog entry required at least once a week for learning record. ( Hopefully I can keep up myself :) )
This project is still under development and looking forward to hear your input, feel free to contract me if you want to join or know someone may be interested.
