#41: Budget Request: Outreachy Intern(s) for 2015 Winter Cycle -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: decause | Owner: decause Status: new | Priority: major Component: General | Keywords: outreachy, EDU Objective, | internship, interns, co-ops, D&I -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- 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: https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy Information Specific to this upcoming round can be found here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/2015/DecemberMarch 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. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/41> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/council-discuss The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
