Outreach programs

We create, participate in, and manage mentorship programs, such as the Outreach Program for Women, Google Summer of Code, Google Code-in, and UCOSP.

Rationale
We want to encourage new and intermediate contributors to grow their skills, spread knowledge around the community to improve bus factor, and give our senior contributors a leadership opportunity.
