When I'm confused about timezones, I tend to use Wolfram Alpha:

19:00pm UTC on May 1, 2013 1 day 33 minutes 44 seconds in the future

Hi Quim,
Thank you for your reminder. Does this mean that the applicants have one more day, or half a hour? >...< Sorry I always feel pretty confused about this...

Hi,
The deadline for submissions to the FOSS Outreach Program for Women is
*** 19:00pm UTC on May 1, 2013 ***
You must send your application to opw-list{}gnome.org before the deadline. No exceptions!
https://live.gnome.org/**OutreachProgramForWomen#Send_**in_an_Application< https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen#Send_in_an_Application%3E
You can keep improving your proposal in your project wiki page after the deadline. It is ok if you haven't completed your mandatory contribution yet. It is also ok if you don't have two co-mentors confirmed yet.
Also remember: http://lists.wikimedia.org/**pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-** April/068842.html<
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-April/068842.html%3E
If you hesitate, just apply. You will have more days to ask questions and improve your proposal.
After applying you can add yourself to https://www.mediawiki.org/** wiki/Outreach_Program_for_**Women#Candidates<
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Candidates%3E
What happens after submitting your OPW proposal:
- If you are also applying to GSoC then focus on GSoC. The first
evaluation will be done in that context following the GSoC process and without any gender specific considerations.
- If your proposal is strictly for OPW then we will start evaluating it
and we might come back to you with questions.
The official announcement of accepted interns will be done by the OPW program on May 27:
https://live.gnome.org/**OutreachProgramForWomen/2013/*
*JuneSeptember#Schedule<
https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/2013/JuneSeptember#Schedule
However, we might confirm some or all the Wikimedia interns by May 10. It will partially depend on the GSoC selection process.
Good luck to everybody!
