Hello everyone, We have an update on the Outreachy program, including a request for volunteer mentors and funding. For those of you who are not aware, Outreachy helps people from underrepresented groups get involved in free and open source software by matching interns with established mentors in the upstream community. For more info, please visit: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy
OpenStack is participating in the Outreachy May 2018 to August 2018 internships. The application period opens on February 12th. As the OpenStack PTG is around the corner, I understand many of you might be busy preparing for that. But putting in your project idea as soon as possible will help prospective interns to start working on their application. Plus, it's now a requirement to have at least one project idea submitted on the Outreachy website for OpenStack to show up under the current internship round. Interested mentors - please publish your project ideas on this page https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/openstack/submit-project/. Here is a link that helps you get acquainted with mentorship process: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors We are also looking for additional sponsors to help support the increase in OpenStack applicants. The sponsorship cost is 6,500 USD per intern, which is used to provide them a stipend for the three-month program. You can learn more about sponsorship here: https://www.outreachy.org/sponsor/ . Outreachy has been one of the most important and effective diversity efforts we’ve invested in. We have had many interns turn into long term OpenStack contributors. Please help spread the word. If you are interested in becoming a mentor or sponsoring an intern, please contact me (mahati.chamarthy AT intel.com) or Victoria (victoria AT redhat.com). Thank you! Best, Mahati
