For those who aren't familiar, Outreachy is a paid internship +inspired by Google Summer of Code for people underrepresented in tech. +Interns work remotely with mentors on projects ranging from programming, +user experience, documentation, illustration and graphical design, to data +science. + +Every idea or project needs one or two responsible mentors to teach and help +the intern. Please note that Outreachy applicants are expected to make a +first contribution to the project they are applying for so mentors need to have +proper tasks defined for applicants to work on. Mentors should be able to +commit at least 5 hours a week on most weeks from the beginning of the six-week +application period ($START) through the end of the three-month +internship ($END). You should have a real interest in their success and +be engaged and excited about the project. Take a look at the Outreachy Info for +Mentors for more information. Former Outreachy mentors and interns from various +communities and projects + +To become a mentor, come up with an idea or project to help the intern with. +It should be completed in about three months.

You can use Fedora in +addition to, or instead of, other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows™ +or Mac OS X™. The Fedora operating system is completely free of cost for you to +enjoy and share. + +The Fedora Project is the name of a worldwide community of people who love, use, +and build free software. We want to lead in the creation and spread of free +code and content by working together as a community. Fedora is sponsored by Red +Hat, the world's most trusted provider of open source technology. Red Hat +invests in Fedora to encourage collaboration and incubate innovative new free +software technologies. + +We believe in the value of free software, and fight to protect and promote +solutions anyone can use and redistribute. Not only is the Fedora operating +system made from free software, but we use free software exclusively to provide +it to you. The website you are reading this on right now, in fact, is made from +free software and serves millions of people every month. + +We also believe in the power of collaboration. Our contributors work with free +software project teams around the world we call "upstream." They create much of +the software found in Fedora. We collaborate closely with them so everyone can +benefit from our work, and get access to improvements as soon as possible. By +working in the same direction as these project teams, we can ensure that free +software works better together, and provides the best experience for users. We +also can include improvements quickly, which helps not only users, but the +upstream as well. diff --git a/outreachy-notes/intern-tasks.txt b/outreachy-notes/intern-tasks.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..917cf2c --- /dev/null +++ b/outreachy-notes/intern-tasks.txt @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +These are common tasks that all interns and possibly applicants need to +complete for Fedora specifically. + +- Create a FAS account +- Set up a blog on Planet Fedora diff --git a/outreachy-notes/mentor-application.txt b/outreachy-notes/mentor-application.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..068581a --- /dev/null +++ b/outreachy-notes/mentor-application.txt @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +Project proposal: +- One-line name (e.g. Fedora Hubs: adding a full-text search feature) +- Longer description of project +- Project website +- IRC +- How does this project benefit Fedora +- What the intern will learn +- Skills required including what level and if they are optional + (e.g. Python Intermediate, CSS beginner, we'll teach you Puppet) +- Sample plan of work for the 12 week internship.
