[Year 12 SofDev] GNOME Outreach Program for Women internships

[Donna Benjamin]

Got any young women in your software development classes? 

This opportunity might appeal. Please forward on to colleagues. 

Contact Marina Zhurakhinskaya <marinaz at redhat.com> for more info.

------------------------------------------------------------------
In an effort to get more women involved in Free Software, the GNOME
project is sponsoring several internships for women from December 12,
2011 to March 12, 2012. These dates are aimed at the college women from
the Southern Hemisphere who will have a school summer break during this
time, but any woman available for a full time internship is welcome to
apply. Please consider applying for the program, encourage someone else
to apply, or help us spread the word!

The application deadline is October 31. The applicants need to get in
touch with individual GNOME projects that participate in this effort
ahead of time to decide which project they are interested in working on
and make a small contribution to the project.

Participants will work remotely from home, while getting guidance from
an assigned mentor and collaborating within their project’s team and the
rest of the GNOME community. The projects include developing software
for the core desktop, file management, messaging, popular applications,
educational activities, and the platform libraries. There are also
non-coding projects, such as graphic design, documentation, and
marketing. The stipend for the program is $5,000 (USD).

Please visit http://www.gnome.org to learn more and apply. The
mentorship opportunities are also available throughout the year for
anyone interested in getting started contributing to GNOME outside of
the internship program.
