Quoting from the blogpost: > The ASF has successfully been accepted as a participating FOSS community in the Outreachy Program [1] to work with Outreachy organizers to offer remote internships to applicants around the world. With this program, we are looking forward to improving inclusion in our communities by understanding what are the barriers that underrepresented groups in the tech industry have while trying to start their journey.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/EDI/2019/08/19/Seeking+volunteer+mentors+from+all+Apache+projects+to+help+mentor+under-represented+contributors has the full post. Projects must register by 2019-Sep-17 if they wish to participate in the first cohort. With my ASF Director role I don't have the bandwidth to support this, but I really hope a committer in the CouchDB community seizes this opportunity to both grow our contributor base as well as to improve inclusion in the overall Apache community! Kind regards, Joan "moar CouchDB contributors" Touzet
