Debian is planning to apply as a mentoring organization for the Outreachy June 2025 Cohort. This is a call for project proposals for the upcoming program. The deadline for project ideas submission is on February 25. Those are mostly ideas and demonstration of willingness to be a mentor in a specific project, the deadline for a well defined project will be March 7. == Proposing a Project == Add your project idea to the Outreachy'25 wiki page [1], you can find some information here [2]. Please, make sure you fill all the information. We require that the proposed project has at least one mentor who is a Debian Developer. If you need any help in drafting a proposal, feel free to drop an email to outreach@debian.org or reach out to us on #debian-outreach IRC channel. == What is Outreachy? == Outreachy is a program that provides internships to people subject to systemic bias and impacted by underrepresentation in the technical industry where they are living. Outreachy is a good way to get new (and old) contributors interested in the parts of Debian that you consider important and to keep some of them involved with Debian even after the program ends. Also, an opportunity to try to increase diversity in the project.
