For those of you who are not aware, Outreachy helps people from underrepresented groups get involved in free and open source software by matching interns with established mentors in the upstream community. For more info, please visit: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy OpenStack is participating in the Outreachy May 2018 to August 2018 internships. The application period opens on February 12th. As the OpenStack PTG is around the corner, I understand many of you might be busy preparing for that. But putting in your project idea as soon as possible will help prospective interns to start working on their application. Plus, it's now a requirement to have at least one project idea submitted on the Outreachy website for OpenStack to show up under the current internship round. Interested mentors - please publish your project ideas on this page https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/openstack/submit-project/. Here is a link that helps you get acquainted with mentorship process: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors We are also looking for additional sponsors to help support the increase in OpenStack applicants. The sponsorship cost is 6,500 USD per intern, which is used to provide them a stipend for the three-month program. You can learn more about sponsorship here: https://www.outreachy.org/sponsor/ . Outreachy has been one of the most important and effective diversity efforts we’ve invested in. We have had many interns turn into long term OpenStack contributors. Please help spread the word. If you are interested in becoming a mentor or sponsoring an intern, please contact me (mahati.chamarthy AT intel.com) or Victoria (victoria AT redhat.com). Thank you!

Many open source contributors are working in their free time to provide essential software that we use daily. Sometimes praise is lost in the feedback of bugs or missing features. Focusing on too much negative feedback can lead contributors to frustration and burnout. However you end up contributing to OpenStack, or any open source project, I believe that what gets people excited about working with a community is some form of recognition. My first answer to people coming into the OpenStack community is to join our Project Team Gathering event. Significant changes are discussed here to understand the technical details to carry out the work in the new release. You should seek out people who are owners of these changes and volunteer to work on a portion of the work. Not only are these people interested in your success by having you take on some of the work they have invested in, but you will be doing work that interests the entire team. You’ll finish the improvements and be known as the person in the project with the expertise in that area. You’ll receive some recognition from the team and the community using your software. And just like that, you’re hooked because you know your work is making a difference. Maybe you’ll improve that area of the project more, venture onto other parts of the project, or even expand to other open source projects. If you work in the OpenStack community, there’s also another way you can give and get recognition. In OpenStack IRC channels, you can thank members of the community publicly with the following command: #thanks for being a swell person in that heated discussion! To be clear, is replaced with the person you want to give thanks. Where does this information go? Just like the Success Bot in which we can share successes as a community, Thanks Bot will post them to the OpenStack wiki. They will also be featured in the OpenStack Developer Digest. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Thanks In developing this feature, I’ve had help and feedback from various members of the community. You can see my history of thanking people along the way, too. At the next OpenStack event, you’re still welcome to buy a tasty beverage for someone to say thanks. But why not give them recognition now too and let them know how much they’re appreciated in the community? -- Mike Perez (thingee) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The idea is to give recognition to those that are undervalued, don't know their are appreciated, bind the community together, keep things fun, or challenge some norm. It can be someone that does a dirty job no one wants to do, someone that steps up into an new role, or someone that is new to the community but giving it their all. Basically nominate anyone you think deserves an award :) [1] There are A LOT of people out there that could use a pat on the back and affirmation that they do good work for the community. Please submit your nominations by *May 14th. * Winners will be announced at the feedback session in Vancouver. -Kendall Nelson (diablo_rojo) [1] https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/cca_nominations_vancouver -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
