Hi again,
In a happy turn of the events, we have managed to secure the funding for at least 1 intern (thank you Red Hat!). Now it's time for mentors to propose their projects. The form and all the necessary information can be found at https://www.outreachy.org/outreachy-june-2025-internship-cohort/communities/...
Please let Mahati and myself know if you have any questions or doubts. We're happy to discuss your idea privately or provide feedback on the submission.

Hi folks,
As some of you might have noticed, OpenStack did not participate in the December 2024 cohort of Outreachy (a DEI program providing paid internships to people from underrepresented or discriminated groups). This was because we could not find anyone to sponsor our participation.
It looks like the situation might not improve at all in 2025. If so, I think it will be over for OpenStack in Outreachy. I'd like to ask companies developing or using OpenStack and caring about DEI to step in. We're talking about $8000 per intern, more details in https://www.outreachy.org/docs/community/#intern-funding.
OpenStack had been very active in Outreachy before the last round. You can check it for yourself by searching for "OpenStack" on https://www.outreachy.org/alums/2024-05/ and the previous rounds. I'd like to keep it this way. Can we do it together? Please reach out to Mahati and me if you can help.
Thank you!
Dmitry
