Outreachy/Round 6

Candidates are encouraged to start drafting and sharing their project ideas.

Wikimedia is a proud participant of the Free and Open Source Outreach Program for Women, which runs two editions every year. Women interested: apply!

This Wikimedia Engineering activity is part of Mentorship programs.

Round 6
We welcome your applications to the 6th round of OPW. The deadline is May 1.

We are also participating in Google Summer of Code and we can recommend you to apply to the program(s) where we believe your proposal fits nicely. Not that some projects are NOT about coding, and we are featuring them only for OPW.

We also want to hear about your own project ideas, related with software development or not.

Round 5
The round was from January 2 to April 2, 2013. We were participating with 6 internships - 4 funded by the Wikimedia Foundation and 2 sponsored by Google.

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
