Hello, I know, it's kind of very short notice, and I really wonder why this message has not been sent here. I just read about it myself, so I will try to share it, as in some timezones, the 22nd of october is still several hours away ;)
What follows is a copy paste from Tom Marble's article at: https://bits.debian.org/2014/10/debian-opw-2014.html ...................................................................... Debian is thrilled to participate in the 9th round of the GNOME FOSS Outreach Program. While OPW is similar to Google Summer of Code it has a winter session in addition to a summer session and is open to non-students. Back at DebConf 14 several of us decided to volunteer because we want to increase diversity in Debian. Shortly thereafter the DPL announced Debian's participation in OPW 2014. We have reached out to several corporate sponsors and are thrilled that so far Intel has agreed to fund an intern slot (in addition to the slot offered by the DPL)! While that makes two funded slots we have a third sponsor that has offered a challenge match: for each dollar donated by an individual to Debian the sponsor will donate another dollar for Debian OPW. This is where we need your help! If we can raise $3,125 by October 22 that means we can mentor a third intern ($6,250). Please spread the word and donate today if you can at: http://debian.ch/opw2014/ 2334.33 USD have already been raised, so there is just a little bit left to make this happen! If you'd like to participate as intern, the application deadline is the same (October 22nd). You can find out more on the Debian Wiki http://wiki.debian.org/OutreachProgramForWomen. ......................................................................
