Hello folks,

We are constantly moving and growing and very excited to invite 
newcomers to our community. To this end, the OpenStack Foundation has 
joined the GNOME Outreach Program for Women.

The Women in OpenStack group has already found some mentors for the 
program and ideas for projects are flowing in. Each internship will pay 
$5,000. We have funding from Rackspace and Red Hat for two participants, 
and the Foundation is also sponsoring one intern.

Interns are expected to spend 40 hours a week on the project and 
applicants may not have ever worked on FLOSS before. Some ideas that 
interns may work on during the internship:

If you know women that may be interested in joining OpenStack please 
tell them to read our blog post with more details

Thanks,
