[PLUG] Applications for Outreachy

[Raju Devidas]

Hi everyone, forwarding a message posted by a friend in a group. 
------------------------------------------------------------------ 
Applications for the Outreachy December 2018 to March 2019 internships 
are now open: https://www.outreachy.org/apply/ Outreachy provides 
three-month internships to work in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). 
Interns are paid a stipend of $5,500 and have a $500 travel stipend 
available to them. Outreachy internship projects may include 
programming, user experience, documentation, illustration and graphical 
design, or data science. Interns often find employment after their 
internship with Outreachy sponsors or in jobs that use the skills they 
learned during their internship. Outreachy internships are open to 
applicants around the world. Interns work remotely with mentors from 
FOSS communities. We expressly invite women (both cis and trans), trans 
men, and gender queer people to apply. We also expressly invite 
applications from residents and nationals of the United States of any 
gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, Native 
American/American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific 
Islander. Anyone who faces under-representation, systematic bias, or 
discrimination in the technology industry of their country is invited to 
apply. https://www.outreachy.org The timeline for this round is: Sept. 
19, 2018 Applicants start making contributions to internship projects 
Oct. 30, 2018 Application deadline Nov. 16, 2018 Accepted interns 
announced Dec. 4, 2018 to March 4, 2019 Internships period Please read 
through the application instructions and eligibility requirements 
carefully. This round, we've added a new application process. You will 
need to fill out an initial application before you start to work with a 
mentor on a project. Applicants will need to record their in-progress 
contributions on the Outreachy website. Once one contribution is 
recorded, applicants can start to work on the final application for the 
internship project. We currently have 12 Free and Open Source 
communities who are ready to take contributions from applicants, and we 
expect to have about four more join in the next couple of weeks. We'll 
send another announcement once we have their landing pages in place. If 
you have any questions about the internship, we have volunteers standing 
by to answer them. Please contact <applicant-help at outreachy.org 
<mailto:applicant-help at outreachy.org>> If you can't get in contact with 
a mentor or you're having trouble choosing which project(s) to apply to, 
you can contact our mentors mailing list at <mentors at lists.outreachy.org 
<mailto:mentors at lists.outreachy.org>> Good luck applying!
