Outreachy Winter 2020

We are participating in Outreachy winter program. Outreachy internships are 3 months long. Interns are paid an internship stipend of $5,500 USD. Interns have a $500 USD travel stipend to attend conferences or events. Interns work with experienced mentors from open source communities.

We've done Outreachy for a 3 years now. Outreachy explains that:-

Outreachy internships are open to applicants around the world. Interns work remotely. Interns are not required to move. We expressly invite women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people to apply. We also expressly invite applications from residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.

Kindly note this eligibility addition this year

So, we're asking applicants to start posting their proposals for comment, here. Read on!
