We have 13 candidates in OPW round 6 (two more than in round 5): https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women All of them are applying to OPW and Wikimedia for the first time, except Aarti Dwivedi (Rtdwivedi). Nine are also applying to Google Summer of Code. Community feedback to these proposals is welcome! Help improving the project proposals and help getting the best projects selected. We must communicate our pre-selected candidates to the OPW organizers by May 8. The final list will depend on the slots available. The Wikimedia Foundation is funding a maximum of 4 slots, but we might get more via Google sponsorship. This pre-selection has some dependencies to the GSoC pre-selection. Sounds complicated (and probably is complicated) ;) but we will figure all this out in the following days. Now it's a good time for candidates and mentors to have a look at our selection criteria and the lessons learned in the previous OPW round: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Selection_process https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women/Round_5 Happy editing and good luck! -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

When I'm confused about timezones, I tend to use Wolfram Alpha:

19:00pm UTC on May 1, 2013

Hi Quim,
Thank you for your reminder. Does this mean that the applicants have one
more day, or half a hour? >...< Sorry I always feel pretty confused about
this...

[Wikitech-l] OPW: deadline for submissions is May 1
Hi,
The deadline for submissions to the FOSS Outreach Program for Women is
*** 19:00pm UTC on May 1, 2013 ***
You must send your application to opw-list{}gnome.org before the
deadline. No exceptions!
https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen#Send_in_an_Application
You can keep improving your proposal in your project wiki page after the
deadline. It is ok if you haven't completed your mandatory contribution
yet. It is also ok if you don't have two co-mentors confirmed yet.
Also remember:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-April/068842.html
If you hesitate, just apply. You will have more days to ask questions
and improve your proposal.
After applying you can add yourself to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Candidates
What happens after submitting your OPW proposal:
* If you are also applying to GSoC then focus on GSoC. The first
evaluation will be done in that context following the GSoC process and
without any gender specific considerations.
* If your proposal is strictly for OPW then we will start evaluating it
and we might come back to you with questions.
The official announcement of accepted interns will be done by the OPW
program on May 27:
https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/2013/JuneSeptember#Schedule
However, we might confirm some or all the Wikimedia interns by May 10.
It will partially depend on the GSoC selection process.
Good luck to everybody!
