Hello everyone! An update on the Outreachy program, including a request for volunteer mentors and funding. Outreachy <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy> helps people from underrepresented groups get involved in free and open source software by matching interns with established mentors in the upstream community. OpenStack is a participating organization in the Outreachy Dec 2018 to Mar 2019 internships. If you're interested to be a mentor, 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 have funding for two interns so far. We are looking for additional sponsors to help support 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 Sameul ( samueldmq AT gmail.com ). Thank you!
