Thanks for that one Abdeali. Just wanted to notify that the application deadline for Outreachy round'12 falls in 4 days - 22 March, 2016 07 pm UTC. If you are eligble, and interested in applying - please refer Life_of_a_successful_project#Coming_up_with_a_proposal <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs/Life_of_a_successful_project#Coming_up_with_a_proposal> and come up with a proposal. Make sure that you have a copy of it submitted in the application website before the deadline at https://outreachy.gnome.org
Note: University students are encouraged to participate in this term, who has "at-least 7 weeks" without full time school requirement, unlike the last round. Interested in mentoring ?
