... and now it's past.
We have 13 candidates in OPW round 6 (two more than in round 5):

All of them are applying to OPW and Wikimedia for the first time, except Aarti Dwivedi (Rtdwivedi).
Nine are also applying to Google Summer of Code.
Community feedback to these proposals is welcome! Help improving the project proposals and help getting the best projects selected.
We must communicate our pre-selected candidates to the OPW organizers by May 8. The final list will depend on the slots available. The Wikimedia Foundation is funding a maximum of 4 slots, but we might get more via Google sponsorship.
This pre-selection has some dependencies to the GSoC pre-selection. Sounds complicated (and probably is complicated) ;) but we will figure all this out in the following days.
Now it's a good time for candidates and mentors to have a look at our selection criteria and the lessons learned in the previous OPW round:

Happy editing and good luck!
