Outreachy May 2021

Hi everyone,

I want to invite you to apply to an internship program called Outreachy! Outreachy provides three-month internships to work in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Outreachy internship projects may include programming, user experience, documentation, illustration, graphical design, or data science. Interns often find employment after their internship with Outreachy sponsors or jobs that use the skills they learned during their internship.

Ceph has had ten projects submitted in Outreachy since 2018. Now we can submit more projects for our May-August 2021 round!

The project can be coordinated on the etherpad:

https://pad.ceph.com/p/project-ideas

Projects need to be submitted by the mentor here for approval:

https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/ceph/

Outreachy internships run twice a year. The internships run from May to August and December to March. Interns are paid a stipend of $6,000 USD for the three months of work.

Outreachy internships are entirely remote and are open to applicants around the world. Interns work remotely with experienced mentors. We expressly invite women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people to apply. We also expressly invite applications from residents and nationals of the United States of any gender. They are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, Native American/American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. Anyone who faces under-representation, systematic bias, or discrimination in their country's technology industry is invited to apply. More details and eligibility criteria can be found here:

https://www.outreachy.org/apply/eligibility/

The next Outreachy internship round is from May 24, 2021, until Aug. 24, 2021.

Initial applications are currently open. Initial applications are due on Feb. 22, 2021, at 4 pm UTC. Apply today:

https://www.outreachy.org/apply/

Applying to Outreachy is a little different than other internship programs. You'll fill out an initial application. If your initial application is approved, you'll move onto the five-week contribution phase. During the contribution phase, you'll make contact with project mentors and contribute to the project. Outreachy organizers have found that the most vital applicants contact mentors early, ask many questions, and continually submit contributions throughout the contribution phase.

Please let Ali or I know if you have any questions about the program. The Outreachy organizers (Karen Sandler, Sage Sharp, Marina Zhurakhinskaya, Cindy Pallares, and Tony Sebro) can all be reached through our contact form:

https://www.outreachy.org/contact/contact-us/.

We hope you'll help us spread the word about Outreachy internships!
