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!
