The Outreach Program for Women (OPW) was inspired by Google's Summer of Code and by how few women applied for it. The GNOME Foundation first started the OPW with one round in 2006, and then resumed the effort in 2010 with rounds organized twice a year. In the May-August 2012 round, the Software Freedom Conservancy joined the OPW with one internship with the Twisted project. In the January-April 2013 round, many other free and open source organizations joined the program.This program is a welcoming link that connects talented and passionate women with people working in free and open source software and guides them through their first contribution. Through OPW, women learn how exciting and valuable work on software freedom can be, while helping us to build a more inclusive community. The next round of the Outreach Program for *Women internships* will have an application *deadline on March 19, 2014, and internship dates from May 19 to August 18. *Coding, design, documentation and other projects will be available. The accepted participants will work remotely, while being guided by their mentor, and receive $5,500 stipend.
