Hey everyone! While our current Outreachy interns[1] are completing their December-March internships, it's (already) time for Debian to get ready for the next round. [1] https://bits.debian.org/2017/02/welcome-outreachy-interns-2016-2017.html For the next few months, Debian is preparing for two internship programs, whose schedules run concurrently: - Outreachy[2,3] helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software get involved. We provide a supportive community for beginning to contribute any time throughout the year and offer focused internship opportunities twice a year with a number of free software organizations. [2] https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/ [3] https://wiki.debian.org/Outreachy (not updated for round 14 yet) - Google Summer of Code[4,5] is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. Students work with an open source organization on a 3 month programming project during their break from school. [4] https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ [5] https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2017? Both programs will be running from February-March (intern application period) to August (completion of internships). We just applied as a mentoring organization to Google Summer of Code, and we have just confirmed funding for an internship in the next round of Outreachy. It is now time for the Debian community to come together and prepare some project ideas for the prospective interns that are bound to flood our gates in the next few weeks. As additions this year, we ask that all projects be supervised by at least two mentors, and that mentors give their prospective interns some "test" task during the application process to assess whether the intern would be a good fit. No worries, your favorite Outreach Team will be around to help you throughout the process. If you're ready to take eager new contributors under your wing for the next few months, then feel free to submit a project idea on the dedicated page[6]. Let us know about your proposed projects on the debian-outreach mailing list[7].
