Fwd: Apache PMCs: your chance to support your projects with Outreachy internships
Hi:
Are we organized enough, and do we have enough bandwidth, do get some
documentation help through this program? Mentoring can take an average of
five hours a week, although that probably does not all have to be by one
person. It may be, though, that a person with no AS3/MXML history would
have no idea how to contribute.

Hello Apache PMCs --I hope you're having a great week thus far.
The ASF (through our Diversity & Inclusion committee) is a mentoring
organization with Outreachy, a program organized by the Software Freedom
Conservancy. Outreachy provides paid internships to those who are
under-represented in technology, including women, individuals from the
African American, Hispanic/Latinx, and Native American/Alaskan/Hawaiian
communities, among others.
This year's Outreachy internships will run May-August 2020. Interns will
work full-time and remotely with individual mentors from our community (=
PMC members). Interns can work on a range of projects, such as programming,
documentation, data science, user experience, marketing, graphic design,
and more.
Several internships are available to Apache Projects: all PMCs are welcome
to apply to propose work projects for Outreachy interns. The program works
in a similar manner as GSoC, where candidate interns select which
project/activity they’d like to work on. The more work projects proposed,
the greater your Project's chance of being selected!
This is a great chance to give deserving individuals of diverse
backgrounds, genders, and ages a chance to contribute to Open Source in
many different ways. Helping others helps Apache Projects and our
communities.
NOTE: The deadline to submit work project proposals to is 25 February 2020
at 4PM UTC. We encourage you to review the Outreachy mentor FAQ as you
consider this opportunity https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/mentor-faq/
Those PMCs ready to apply as mentors may do so directly at
https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/apache/
For help crafting your project proposal, please contact the Apache
coordinators --Matt Sicker, Awasum Yannick, and Katia Rojas-- at <
dev@diversity.apache.org>.

I personally don’t have the bandwidth (although I can answer questions here and there).
