The next Outreachy / OPW starts 22 September:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy Is there any decision about Debian participation? The program admins asked to be contacted by organizations before 21 September: https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/Admin/InfoForOrgs#Action As with previous rounds of GSoC, OPW and Outreachy, I'm potentially able to mentor somebody in any of the domains I work with and also be involved in some of the promotion and selection process. >From the minutes of the DebConf women meeting, I understand people had some concerns about the possibility that programs like this may deter and demotivate unsuccessful candidates. Personally, I believe this can be mitigated by getting people involved earlier and trying to ensure that Outreachy is not their only goal or relationship with Debian, this may also help maximize the selection of candidates who stick around after these programs or even if they are not selected the first time around. _______________________________________________ Soc-coordination mailing list Soc-coordination@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination
