• Your development environment:
  • OS (if Linux, which distro?)
  • Do you have a laptop or a desktop? What kind?
• Experience in the software industry?
  • Prior internships?
  • Hobby projects?
• Technical experience
  • Languages you're comfortable with
  • Web development skills?
• Any experience with Review Board, or code review in general?
• Any experience with Git or other SCMs (Subversion, Mercurial, etc.)?
• Tell us about a really interesting project you worked on.
• Tell us about a really interesting debugging problem you had to solve, and how you went about solving it.
