Hello everyone,

Wikimedia is delighted to participate the eleventh time in the Outreachy https://www.outreachy.org/ internship program. The application period for interns opens September 7th and will be due October 23rd. In the meanwhile, we need your help -- we are looking for *suitable projects* and *mentors*. Projects could be anything ranging from programming, user experience, documentation, illustration and graphical design, to data science.

If you would like to feature a project / become a mentor:

1. Get an overview of the selection process, and your responsibilities before, during, and after the program https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors 2. Create a task, or modify an existing one on Wikimedia's Phabricator http://phabricator.wikimedia.org. Make sure it includes: *Project title, description (summary in 8-10 lines), skills required (Phabricator tags are welcome), mentors (required two), micro tasks (link to Phabricator task that must be completed to become a strong candidate).* 3. Tag the tasks with #Outreach-Programs-Projects https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/2537/ and #Outreachy-Round-15 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/2957/ on Phabricator.
