Hi all, GNOME is participating in Outreachy in the upcoming December round! For this round, the program expanded to be open to people of color underrepresented in tech in the U.S., in addition to being open to women, trans men, and genderqueer people internationally. You can learn more about the motivation for this expansion in Software Freedom Conservancy's press release [1].
You can sign up to mentor! - Because GNOME only usually has a few participants in Outreachy, we are looking to offer projects that are most strategic for GNOME. These include, but are not limited to, projects in the area of privacy, developer experience, GTK+, core experience, core applications, and web infrastructure. Please add coding and non-coding ideas you are willing to mentor in Outreachy on its page this week [2]. You can apply to participate! - In the next four weeks, applicants are invited to work with mentors on making relevant contributions and putting together a project proposal [3]. You can help spread the word! - Please encourage people personally to apply, post on social networks, send the information to technology groups and to the university departments, and post the flyers on university campuses or hand them out at conferences. For university outreach, we are particularly interested in spreading the word to students in the Southern Hemisphere, who will have a school summer break during the internship dates. Sample e-mail, sample social network updates, and a flyer are available on the spread the word page [4].
