FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Shraddha Barke <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Feb 17, 2019 at 9:21 AM Subject: [Outreachy kernel] [Announcement] Outreachy Next Round [May-August] Application period starts! To: <[email protected]> Cc: Vaishali Thakkar <[email protected]>
Greetings potential Linux kernel Outreachy interns! Please read this *entire* email, even if you have applied in the past. What is Outreachy? --------------------------- The next application round for Outreachy internships starts February 18, 2019 and ends March 26, 2019. Outreachy interns will be paid $5,500 to work on a full-time internship with an open source mentor from May 20, 2019 to August 20, 2019. Interns will also be granted a $500 travel stipend to go to any conference approved by their mentor that relates to their project. Who can apply? ----------------------- To qualify to apply for Outreachy, you MUST complete eligibility criteria here: https://www.outreachy.org/apply/eligibility/ and contact the Outreachy organizers (https://www.outreachy.org/contact/organizers/) if you will be in school between May 20, 2019 to August 20, 2019 or have any questions about your eligibility. What Outreachy projects can you apply to? ------------------------------------------------------------- There will be several different open source projects participating in this round of Outreachy. The full list can be found here: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/ The Linux kernel expects to offer eight projects, which are already listed on on Linux kernel community page on Outreachy website and will be visible to applicants only after they complete the eligibility check. How do I apply to the Linux kernel project via Outreachy's website? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Fill out the eligibility check form on the Outreachy website 2. Work on Linux kernel tutorial Basically, applicants will need to walk through our tutorial for creating their first Linux kernel patch: http://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch It is not necessary to contact a mentor before starting the tutorial. 3. Work on cleanup patches As specified in our tutorial we require Outreachy applicants to first get accepted at least 10 Staging driver cleanup patches. 4. Once your first patch is accepted, add that as a contribution for the project(s)you're interested in applying for. This will then allow you to submit an application. Note that you'll need to apply for each project separately. 5. Once applicants have completed working on 10 cleanup patches, we encourage applicants to move on to complete some small tasks outlined by the mentors. It’s preferable to CC the mentor when you are working on the task so that they don’t miss it. Small tasks for the projects can be found in the project detail here: https://www.outreachy.org/2018-may-august/communities/linux-kernel/ Note that you'll be able to see the detailed information about projects on Outreachy's website only after completing eligibility form check. 6. Keep editing your 'project contribution' on Outreachy's website based on your accepted patches links and project specific completion of tasks 7. Make sure to add your project preferences under the question 'Community-specific Questions' in the application Applicants should also join the #outreachy IRC channel on irc.gnome.org, and the #kernel-outreachy channel on irc.oftc.net. If you're having trouble with IRC, please ask for help on this mailing list. If you’ve applied in the Outreachy before, you’re still required to send few staging driver cleanup patches to re-familiarize yourself with the process before you start to work on tasks. There is a tips section at the end of the tutorial to outline what behaviors we look for in potential Outreachy interns. I hope this will give more insight into our selection process.
