The money originates from GNOME's participation in the Google "Summer of Code" program (<a href="http://code.google.com/soc/">code.google.com/soc/</a>), for which GNOME developers will mentor 20 students working throughout the northern summer on GNOME-related projects. This year GNOME received 181 applications to Google's program, yet none were from women. The GNOME Foundation has therefore chosen to reinvest Google's contribution into a new program designed to increase the participation of women in GNOME. The program has no official relationship with Google. The Women's Summer Outreach Program is currently accepting applications from female students. If you'd like to apply, please visit the program website (<a href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/wsop/">www.gnome.org/projects/wsop/</a>). If you know any female students who might be interested in applying, please tell them about the program! You can also put up a poster (<a href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/wsop/poster.pdf">www.gnome.org/projects/wsop/poster.pdf</a>). For more information, see the press release (<a href="http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/wsop.html">www.gnome.org/press/releases/wsop.html </a>) and program website (<a href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/wsop/">www.gnome.org/projects/wsop/</a>). -- hanna m. wallach blog: <a href="http://join-the-dots.org/">http://join-the-dots.org/</a> work: <a href="http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/hmw26/">http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/hmw26/</a> ------------------------------ -- ubuntu-women mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-women@lists.ubuntu.com"> ubuntu-women@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-women">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-women</a> End of ubuntu-women Digest, Vol 5, Issue 3 ****************************************** </blockquote></div> -- Judy Ann Okite +254-721-237507 P.O.
