Outreachy (formerly GNOME Outreach Program for Women) is administering
their winter cycle, and there are members of the Fedora project willing to
mentor on a handful of projects.
You can view this year's proposed program on the Fedora Wiki (Work in
Progress): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Outreachy/2015
General information about the Outreachy program can be found here:

Information Specific to this upcoming round can be found here:

The cost of sponsoring an intern is $6,500 USD. They are paid
incrementally 3 times over the course of their internship by the Outreachy
program, who handles the administrative burden via the Software Freedom
Conservancy. A $500 travel stipend is included in that cost, which could
be used to help subsidize the intern's travel to FOSS conferences, Events,
or workshops (ideally Fedora Events, FADs, or hackfests.)
I would propose that we *provisionally* allocate funding for at least 1
slot ($6,500), but ideally 2 slots ($13,000) pending suitable applicants
to fill the slot(s).
Outreachy program representatives will be available during our Monday
meeting on 9/28 to answer our questions.
