Hola hive,
We are in the process of submitting Wikimedia's application for Google Summer of Code 2017 https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/ and Outreachy Round 14 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy.
Do you have any projects in mind that you would like to mentor?
Do you find anything interesting in the Possible Tech Projects https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/ or the Community Wishlist: Not-top-ten wishes (need-owner) column https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/2420/ on the Phabricator workboard?
If you are interested, I will encourage you to add the following project tag(s) to a task on Phabricator: *#Google-Summer-of-Code-2017* or *#Outreachy-Round-14* and *#Outreach-Programs-Projects*. And, we'll take it from there :)
For both programs, the student application period will start on February 16th (Outreachy) and February 27th (GSOC). Students will work on projects between May and August.
Cheers, Srishti
