Dear all,

The Wikimedia Foundation will be participating as a mentoring organization in the upcoming round of Outreach Program for Womenhttps://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/2013/JuneSeptember/SpreadTheWord. Two out of the six womenhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Womenwho qualified for the internship during the last round were Indians. Hoping to see many Indian women qualify for the mentorship this time!

We'll be participating as a mentoring organization in the upcoming round. The interns who are just finishing up their current round with us: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women

Some key points:

* USD$5000 for 3 months of full-time work * can work remotely from anywhere * doesn't have to be coding; documentation, testing, systems administration, marketing, and design are also possible * newbies to open source are welcome * applicants don't have to be students * trans women and genderqueer/genderfluid folks are welcome * applicants should START NOW since applications are collaborative!

If you know a motivated woman who has never worked in technology before, who's a good communicator and a diligent worker, and whose career is stagnating, this is the PERFECT opportunity for her to cross-train and start on a new, more lucrative path! Please spread the word.
