Forwarding the email from Matt, secretary of ASF: Greetings,
The ASF is participating again in Outreachy, a program organized by the Software Freedom Conservancy for mentoring people who are under-represented in technology with internships working on open source software doing software development, documentation writing, data science work, design work, and other related tasks. Volunteers from these OSS communities sign up to mentor these interns by submitting project proposals [0][1][2]. For Apache, PMC members are all welcome to apply; others who wish to mentor for a PMC should seek lazy consensus from the specific PMC for that project to make sure the PMC has no objection to that individual mentoring for them. Mentors will also need to read and sign Outreachy's mentor agreement [3]. We have funding secured for at least six interns, but if we end up with more strong applicants than that, Outreachy sometimes allows additional interns from their general funding. *Important dates*: 24 Sep 2020: ***last day to submit project proposals*** 01 Oct 2020: contribution period begins for applicants 31 Oct 2020: contribution period ends ?? Nov 2020: intern selections 23 Nov 2020: interns announced 01 Dec 2020: internship begins 02 Mar 2020: internship ends [0]: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/apache/ [1]: https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/mentor-faq/ [2]: https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/mentor-faq/#define-a-project [3]: https://github.com/outreachy/website/blob/master/docs/mentor-agreement.md On Mon, Sep 7, 2020 at 12:40 PM Kaxil Naik <kaxiln...@gmail.com> wrote: > The deadline for the proposal submission is *24 September*.
