Dear wikimedians,

The Free and Open Source Souftware Outreach Program for Women offers paid internships to developers and other technical profiles working on projects together with free software organizations. Wikimedia is participating again, and we welcome candidates.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/FOSS_Outreach_Program_for_Women/Round_9

This call is open to Wikimedia volunteers (editors, developers...) and also to people that would contribute for the first time in our projects. In the past editions we have seen that candidates coming through a direct recommendation have good chances of success. It is also known that many good potential candidates will be reluctant to step in, but they will if someone (like you) encourages them to apply, or to contact us with any questions.

You can make a difference. If you know women with software development or open source background / interest and full time availability between December and March, please forward them this invitation. Thank you!
