Hi everyone, Quick update on the Outreachy <https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/> program, including a request for funding and volunteer mentors. For those of you who are not aware, Outreachy helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software get involved by matching interns with established mentors in the upstream community.
OpenStack haven't confirmed the participation to this Outreachy round yet, but despite of that we are receiving applicants interested in contribute to different projects. We have already 10 volunteer mentors for OpenStack this next cycle, which will take place May 23 - August 23, 2016. OpenStack could use a few more volunteer mentors for any project. You can learn more about what is expected from mentors and how to apply here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors We have some potential sponsors, but we could use some additional sponsors to help support the large increase in OpenStack applicants. The sponsorship cost is 6,500 USD per intern, which provide them a stipend for the three-month program. You can learn more about sponsorship here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/Admin/InfoForOrgs#Action I personally believe Outreachy is one of the most important and effective diversity efforts we’ve invested in to date. We’ve had some amazing graduates become long-term contributors to our community. Please help spread the word. If you are interested in becoming a mentor or sponsoring an intern, please contact me (victoria AT redhat.com) or Mahati (mahati.chamarthy AT gmail.com). Thanks, Victoria
