Hello all,

This is a humble reminder that the deadline to apply for Outreachy, by having your application and proposal in its portal at outreachy.gnome.org expires in 3 hours. The deadline is: October 17 7PM UTC

In case there are any technical issues with the portal, please mail the Outreachy mailing list directly at outreachy-list@gnome.org, as there are some problems showing up with attachments, etc.

In case you are looking for help from the Wikimedia side, feel free to open up a conpherence https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/conpherence/ with the org admins (Sumit, me) or your mentors.

Thanks, Tony Thomas https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:01tonythomas Home http://www.thomastony.me | Blog https://tttwrites.wordpress.com/ | ThinkFOSS http://www.thinkfoss.com

Dear Outreachy applicants,

The deadline to submit Outreachy-13[0] proposals at[1] is October 17 7PM UTC. Please make sure that your initial draft is submitted before that deadline.

The application can be edited till sometime afterwards. If not made initial contributions yet, kindly get in touch with project mentors and make initial contributions to projects of your interest or some part of MediaWiki soon and continue to work towards the proposal. This will make you a *strong* candidate for the project and help the mentors in the selection process.

To start with initial contributions, set up your dev environment[2] and read the complete beginner's guide[3].

For anything else just ask :)
