The Outreach Program for Women (OPW) helps women get involved in free and open source software. We provide a supportive community for beginning to contribute any time throughout the year and offer focused internship opportunities twice a year with a number of free software organizations.

Applications are now accepted for the new round of the Outreach Program for Women internships. The application deadline is November 11, 2013 and the internship dates are December 10, 2013 to March 10, 2014. Students from the Southern Hemisphere, who will have a summer school break during this time, as well as non-students from around the world are encouraged to apply. Coding, design, documentation and other projects are available. The applicants are asked to collaborate with mentors from the participating organizations to make a contribution relevant to the project they are applying for during the application process. The accepted participants will work remotely, while being guided by their mentor, and receive $5,000 stipend. "
