4. Participating Organizations

See each organization's page for more information about the projects and mentors. The main page has some advice about how to choose an organization and project.

Organizations and companies are invited to join in by offering and sponsoring internships in future rounds.

• Debian is a free operating system. Debian provides over 29,000 packages, which are precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine. A variety of programming projects is available.

• Fedora is a GNU/Linux-based operating system with a commitment to open collaboration and software freedom. Projects include work on the operating system installer, design collateral for the project, and the project infrastructure. Coding, user experience design, graphic design, front-end and back-end web development, and usability testing projects are available.

• GNOME is a GNU/Linux-based innovative desktop that is design-driven and easy to use. Projects include work on the general desktop features and on popular applications. Coding, user experience design, graphic design, web development, documentation, and marketing projects are available.

• Linux Kernel is the most basic layer of the Linux operating system. It encompasses many things: hardware drivers, file systems, security, task scheduling, and much more. Projects include work on ethernet drivers, USB drivers, and the central boot code for x86 processors. Basic experience with C or C++ is required. Basic operating system knowledge and Linux/UNIX command line knowledge are a plus.

• Mozilla creates software that promotes the goals of the Open Web. Coding projects for the Rust programming language and the Servo web browser engine are available. Beginner-level proficiency in C and some knowledge of systems programming (such as having taking an operating systems class) are useful. In addition, a community management internship is available for people interested in organizing volunteers.

• Open Source Robotics Foundation supports development of software for use in robotics research, education, and product development. Participating projects are the Gazebo multi-robot simulator for outdoor environments, the Robot Operating System (ROS) libraries and tools for creating robot applications, and the CloudSim web application for running these robotic programs in the cloud. C++, Python, JavaScript, and Ruby are the programming languages used.

• OpenStack is an integrated collection of software for cloud deployment and management. Projects include ones to work on web UX improvements, use JavaScript library jstack to create a web presence for trying-out OpenStack APIs, improve scripts for automatic documentation creation, write integration tests, write a mobile application for tablets for using at events, UX personas, and improve user groups engagement.

• Wikimedia is a global movement whose mission is to bring free educational content to the world. Help improving the technical tools and infrastructure behind Wikipedia, as well as mobile offerings, user experience, internationalization and documentation.

• Xen Project is a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project that develops the Xen Hypervisor and related virtualization technologies. The Xen Hypervisor is the leading virtualization platform that is powering some of the largest clouds in production today, such as Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Public Cloud, Verizon Cloud and many hosting services. Programming projects that require C or Perl experience, as well as interest in algorithms, computer architecture, and virtualization concepts are available.
