[sudo-discuss] Outreachy - remote internships in Free and Open Source Software

[Jenny Ryan]

Hi all - I participated in this program back in 2013, with the Open
Technology Institute. Let me know if you're interested in applying and
would like a referral!

--
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is software that gives the user the
freedom to use, share, study, and improve it. FOSS contributors believe
that this is the best way to develop software because it benefits society,
creates a fun collaborative community around a project, and allows anyone
to make innovative changes that reach many people. In an effort to improve
diversity in FOSS, a number of organizations are offering remote and
mentored Outreachy internships through a program organized by Software
Freedom Conservancy.

These internships are open internationally to all women (cis and trans),
trans men, and genderqueer people. Additionally, they are open in the U.S,
to all Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, American Indian, Alaska
Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander people. The stipend for the
program is $5,500 (USD). Applicants must be available for full-time,
40-hours a week, internships. The application deadline is October 17, 2016
and the internship dates are December 6, 2016 to March 6, 2017. College
students from the Southern Hemisphere who will have a school summer break
during most of this time are particularly encouraged to apply. Coding, user
experience design, documentation, bug triage, community engagement, and
other types of projects are available.

To apply, you need to connect with a participating organization early,
select a project you want to work on, make a few relevant contributions
with the help of a mentor, and create a project plan.

Learn more at http://outreachy.org Please consider applying for Outreachy,
encourage someone else to apply, or help spread the word by forwarding this
message to any interested university and community groups. To learn more,
please join mentors, coordinators, and alums of Outreachy for a Twitter
chat with a hashtag #OutreachyChat at 3pm UTC on September 21 (11am EST).
