Hi, The Outreach Program for Women, organized by the GNOME foundation, aims at helping women get involved in Free Software, in a scheme similar to Google's Summer of Code. Nicolas Dandrimont and Tom Marble (Cced) proposed to act as Debian coordinators for the winter edition of the program, which I happily accepted. :-) They will be in charge of finding sponsors to fund Debian's participation, seeking projects proposals, deciding which project(s) get selected for Debian slot(s), and generally dealing with the administrative work with the GNOME foundation. On the funding side, I've agreed to use up to $6,250 from Debian's reserves to help fund this participation. If the search for sponsors raises less than $6,250, Debian will pay the difference so that we can have one slot. If it raises between $6,250 and 2*$6,250, Debian will pay the difference so that we can have two slots, etc. Please get in touch with Nicolas and Tom (they are both at DC14) if: * you have ideas about possible sponsors * you have ideas about possible projects, or are interested in mentoring one yourself * you are interested in helping them organize all of this Thanks, Lucas
