Do you want to make theSpoke a better place? Do you want to work with professional developers to help improve theSpoke community? 

If so, you should apply to be on theSpoke's first Student Advisory Board.

We are planning a full refresh of theSpoke community over the next six months and we are looking for smart, technical students to:
- Attend MSN Messenger meetings every other week to discuss and shape plans for theSpoke v2 
- Help the development and marketing teams make important decisions
- Assist with testing and localization
- Be the first to know about what's happening next on theSpoke
- Take on special projects to help make theSpoke better

The board will be selected by March 4, 2005, and will be made up of 45 students worldwide.  3 students will be selected from each localized site around the world.  The student advisory board will serve a six month term from March 7, 2005 until September 7, 2005.

Students on the board will need to communicate in English during virtual meetings and emails.

If you are interested, please email comment@thespoke.net with answers to the following three questions:
1.  Why do you want to be on theSpoke Student Advisory Board?
2.  If you could improve theSpoke in three ways, how would you do it?
