Text from the gnome.org GNOME is an innovative Free Software desktop. It is easy to use and is the most popular desktop distributed with free operating systems. In an effort to get more women involved in Free Software, the GNOME project is sponsoring several internships for women from May 23 to August 22, 2011. The application deadline for the program is April 8. The applicants need to get in touch with individual GNOME projects ahead of time to decide which project they are interested in working on. The stipend for the program is $5,000 (USD). Participants will work remotely from home, while getting guidance from an assigned mentor and collaborating within their project’s team and the rest of the GNOME community. The projects include developing software for the core desktop, file management, messaging, popular applications, educational activities, and the platform libraries. There are also non-coding projects, such as graphic design, documentation, and marketing. The program is open to students and non-students alike. In addition, GNOME will participate in the Google Summer of Code program this year, which sponsors students working on many different Free Software projects. Please visit http://www.gnome.org to learn more and apply. The mentorship opportunities are also available throughout the year for anyone interested in getting started contributing to GNOME outside of the internship program. http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWomen/OutreachProgram2011 <http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWomen/OutreachProgram2011%20%5B+%5D> -- Shree Kant Bohra I believe in openness and privacy.
