GNOME Outreach Program for Women internships

The GNOME Foundation will be sponsoring at least three internships for women
from December 15, 2010 through March 15, 2011. These internships are
primarily aimed at female college students from the Southern Hemisphere who
will have a school break during this time. However, any woman interested in
working on GNOME is welcome to apply, provided she is available for a
full-time internship during this time period.

The internship is expected to be a full-time effort, meaning that the
participants must be able to spend 40 hours a week on their project.
Participants will work remotely from home. Because IRC (Internet Relay
Chat)<http://live.gnome.org/GnomeIrcChannels> is
one of the primary means of communication within free software projects,
participants should be present on their project's IRC channel while working.
They will also be expected to communicate electronically with other project
members via other means, including Bugzilla comments, mailing list
discussion, blog posts, and personal e-mail. Participants will be encouraged
to blog about their work and their blog posts will be aggregated on Planet
GNOME.

The GNOME Foundation will provide each participant with a $4,500 (USD)
stipend. $500 will be wired on December 17 to participants who have begun
their internships, $2000 on February 2 to participants in good standing with
their mentors, and $2000 on March 22 to participants who have successfully
completed their internships.
