Hi, The deadline for applications to the Women Outreach Program is December 3rd. Potential candidates and mentors: make sure that your entries are listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Candidates In fact you are encouraged to list yourselves and link to the relevant pages as soon as possible. We like transparency and we are used to work-in-progress. :) Everybody else: note also that we are encouraging candidates to add a section in their user Talk page for support and endorsements. If you think a specific candidate/project should be selected explain your reasons there.This way you will help us making the right decisions. Thank you!

Another brief update about the Outreach Program for Women: - We have just published the selection criteria and process: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Selection - There are 21 candidates listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Candidates and we are still receiving new requests every day. December 3rd is the last day for applying. Candidates contacting us now have already a tight schedule to present a good proposal, but there are still chances for a good candidate to be selected. It seems that it wasn't clear to all participants that this is a full time internship program, incompatible with work or studies commitments. Some of the initial candidates have dropped their proposals because of this. On 11/15/2012 12:28 PM, Quim Gil wrote: -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation
