Dear all,
The Wikimedia Foundation will be participating as a mentoring
organization in the upcoming round of Outreach Program for
Women<https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/2013/JuneSeptember/…rd>.
Two out of the six
women<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women>who
qualified for the internship during the last round were Indians.
Hoping
to see many Indian women qualify for the mentorship this time!

We'll be participating as a mentoring organization in the upcoming
round. The interns who are just finishing up their current round with
us:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women
Some key points:
* USD$5000 for 3 months of full-time work
* can work remotely from anywhere
* doesn't have to be coding; documentation, testing, systems
administration, marketing, and design are also possible
* newbies to open source are welcome
* applicants don't have to be students
* trans women and genderqueer/genderfluid folks are welcome
* applicants should START NOW since applications are collaborative!
If you know a motivated woman who has never worked in technology before,
who's a good communicator and a diligent worker, and whose career is
stagnating, this is the PERFECT opportunity for her to cross-train and
start on a new, more lucrative path! Please spread the word.
