I would hope that we have volunteers in the UK that may be interested in this outreach programme. An opportunity to deliver an interesting project - do have a look!

Subject: [Wikitech-l] FOSS Outreach Program for Women: call for candidates, projects, and mentors
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org>


PLEASE FORWARD TO WHOEVER MIGHT BE INTERESTED

Wikimedia will participate in the FOSS Outreach Program for Women - Round 7. Interns of this program work full time in an open source project during 4 months.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/FOSS_Outreach_Program_for_Women

Candidates interested are encouraged to add themselves to the table at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women/Round_7#Candidates - even if you are still preparing your proposal.

We are actually running late (my fault). The application process is open until November 11. The internship period goes from December 10 to March 10, 2014.

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to fund up to 8 interns. This is a great opportunity for Wikimedia / MediaWiki related projects. Our process is quite simple: define a project, find the mentors and go for it!

The previous featured projects and confirmed mentors have been moved respectively to the Raw and Bench sections. If you want to participate in this OPW round move the entries back to the featured sections.

New projects and mentors are welcome too, of course!

If you have any questions please ask.
