Outreachy/Round 6



We are currently participating in the Free and Open Source Outreach Program for Women, which runs two editions every year. This Wikimedia Engineering activity is part of Mentorship programs.

The current period of internship is from January 2 to April 2. We are participating with 6 internships - 4 funded by the Wikimedia Foundation and 2 sponsored by Google.


 * 2013-01-03: Initial meeting.

You can find general information about the program in the official site.

Goals
The MediaWiki community is participating in this initiative because we aim to:


 * Make strong connections with a few talented people who will stick around
 * Encourage people to work on testing, design, documentation, marketing, and other areas as well as code
 * Increase the number and proportion of women in an open source community
 * Promote age diversity as well
 * Follow broader charters with interns and flex to accommodate their interests and abilities
