Hi All, Just forwarding this email from Sally in case any of you have missed it. Just wondering whether we can utilise this opportunity to find a good contributor/intern to work on some of the stuff that Gary has mentioned in his last email. Specially the UI segment of the new born bh framework. What do you think?
Thanks, Dammina ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sally Khudairi <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Jan 22, 2020 at 3:06 AM Subject: Apache PMCs: your chance to support your projects with Outreachy internships To: ASF Marketing & Publicity <[email protected]> Hello Apache PMCs --I hope you're having a great week thus far. The ASF (through our Diversity & Inclusion committee) is a mentoring organization with Outreachy, a program organized by the Software Freedom Conservancy. Outreachy provides paid internships to those who are under-represented in technology, including women, individuals from the African American, Hispanic/Latinx, and Native American/Alaskan/Hawaiian communities, among others. This year's Outreachy internships will run May-August 2020. Interns will work full-time and remotely with individual mentors from our community (= PMC members). Interns can work on a range of projects, such as programming, documentation, data science, user experience, marketing, graphic design, and more. Several internships are available to Apache Projects: all PMCs are welcome to apply to propose work projects for Outreachy interns. The program works in a similar manner as GSoC, where candidate interns select which project/activity they’d like to work on. The more work projects proposed, the greater your Project's chance of being selected! This is a great chance to give deserving individuals of diverse backgrounds, genders, and ages a chance to contribute to Open Source in many different ways. Helping others helps Apache Projects and our communities. NOTE: The deadline to submit work project proposals to is 25 February 2020 at 4PM UTC. We encourage you to review the Outreachy mentor FAQ as you consider this opportunity https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/mentor-faq/ Those PMCs ready to apply as mentors may do so directly at https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/apache/ For help crafting your project proposal, please contact the Apache coordinators --Matt Sicker, Awasum Yannick, and Katia Rojas-- at < [email protected]>.
