===================

In an effort to get more women involved in Free Software, the GNOME project  
is sponsoring several internships for women from December 12, 2011 to March  
12, 2012. These dates are aimed at the college women from the Southern  
Hemisphere who will have a school summer break during this time, but any  
woman available for a full time internship is welcome to apply. Please  
consider applying for the program, encourage someone else to apply, or help  
us spread the word!

The application deadline is October 31. The applicants need to get in touch  
with individual GNOME projects that participate in this effort ahead of time  
to decide which project they are interested in working on and make a small  
contribution to the project.

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 stipend for the  
program is $5,000 (USD).

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.
