Hi everyone!

Outreachy https://www.outreachy.org/ helps people from underrepresented groups get involved in free and open source software by matching interns with established mentors in the upstream communities.

OpenStack is a participating organization in the Outreachy Dec 2019 to Mar 2020 round. If you're interested to be a mentor, please register as a mentor in the Outreachy website and publish your project ideas.

According to this round's schedule https://www.outreachy.org/docs/applicant/#outreachy-schedule, the initial application is due next week:

- *Sept. 24, 2019 at 4pm UTC Initial application deadline * - *Nov. 5, 2019 at 4pm UTC Final application deadline*

It is important to get projects submitted *as soon as possible* so that applicants can sign up before the *Sept. 24 deadline*.

Once signed up, they will have between *Oct. 1, 2019 to Nov. 5, 2019 to contribute to the projects*.

If you have any questions about becoming a mentor or want to sponsor an intern, please contact me (samueldmq@gmail.com) or Mahati Chamarthy ( mahati.chamarthy@gmail.com).

Thank you, Samuel de Medeiros Queiroz
