Hello Hotties, The participating organisations have now been announced on the Outreachy website [1]. We are happy to say that OSM and HOT have joined forces again, and are listed as OpenStreetMap. Please take a look at the list of finalised projects on our Outreachy landing page in GitHub [2], where there are also project ideas from OpenAerialMap (OAM) and soon to be added, from the American Red Cross involving OpenMapKit.
Applications for students officially opened on March 3rd and will run until March 24th. Participants are strongly urged to get in touch and make a contribution to at least one project. Please feel free to send me an e-mail (mhairi.oh...@hotosm.org) directly with any queries or interest regarding any of the listed projects and I will put you in touch with the designated mentor. For more details regarding the application process, please refer to the Outreachy website [3] and do not hesitate to ask any questions using the outreachy mailing list (outreachy-l...@gnome.org). This is a private list and your inquires will only be visible to coordinators and mentors of the program. Please start the subject line of your e-mail to this list with [INQUIRY]. Accepted candidates will be announced April 27th and the internship period runs from May 25th to August 25th.
