This page contains information specific to the May 30 to August 30, 2017 round of Outreachy internships. For all other information about the program, including the application process and the application form, please see the main program page.

Here is the page with the resources that were used to help us spread the word about this round.

1. Sponsors

Outreachy is hosted by Software Freedom Conservancy with the special support from Red Hat and the GNOME Foundation. Additionally, linux.conf.au fundraised for Outreachy during the conference and, in addition to many generous donations by attendees, Linux Australia made a contribution. We invite organizations and companies to sponsor internships in the next round.

This round is generously sponsored by the following organizations and companies.

3. Accepted Participants

Congratulations to 39 participants accepted for Outreachy!

Applicants who are students applying to work on the coding projects were encouraged to apply for Google Summer of Code as well. The administrators of both programs then coordinated to accept the top applicants for one of the programs. Congratulations to 4 applicants who applied for both Outreachy and Google Summer of Code, and were accepted for Google Summer of Code with organizations participating in both programs!

Internship projects:

4.1.3. Xen Project

Xen Project is a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project that develops the Xen Hypervisor and related virtualization technologies. The Xen Hypervisor is a leading virtualization platform that is powering some of the largest clouds in production today, such as Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Public Cloud and many hosting services. It also fosters the creation of lightweight Unikernel systems with the Mirage OS incubator project, as well as many independent efforts which use our hypervisor as a base for their work.

Internship projects:

This storage solution is able to speak object, block, and file which unifies all storage needs under a single system with self-managing and self-healing characteristics. Ceph is already integrated with many systems, including the ever-growing world of cloud offerings like OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, Ganeti, and others.

Internship projects:

4.2.3. Debian

Debian is a volunteer-driven project building "the Universal Operating System", a 100% free and open source distribution, based on the Linux, FreeBSD and Hurd kernels, for all devices, ranging from mobile phones, personal computers, to mainframes and distributed clusters.

Internship projects:

4.2.4. Discourse

Discourse is a from-scratch reboot; an attempt to reimagine what a modern Internet discussion platform should be today, in a world of ubiquitous smartphones, tablets, Facebook, and Twitter.

Note: unlike other participating organizations Wikimedia asks applicants to post their applications publicly and the information on whether someone was accepted or not is also posted publicly as a comment to the application.

Internship projects:

4.2.13. Wine

Wine is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, MacOS, & BSD. Experience writing win32 code is a plus. Interns that have signed NDAs with Microsoft and have seen Microsoft code for Windows are not eligible to participate.

Internship projects: (All projects looking for applicants as of March 12)

4.3. Projects no longer looking for new applicants

These projects already have many applicants they are working with or have a strong applicant they have identified as someone who will be a good fit for the project, so they are not looking for new applicants. If you are already working with a mentor from one of these projects, you should absolutely submit an application in the application system for it and continue working with the mentor on further contributions. These projects are taking applications in the application system through March 30, like all other projects, they are just not looking for applicants that have not yet been in touch with a project mentor.

Yocto is an open source project whose goal is to create and provide templates, tools, and methods to make it easy to create embedded Linux distributions. The project works heavily with upstream providers and downstream participants, cooperatively manages software packages with the OpenEmbedded Project, and is developed by hundreds of people worldwide. It is mostly written in Python and C, but the most important skill to bring is the willingness to work with others.

5. Payments Schedule

Software Freedom Conservancy will be administering the payments of the $5,500 (USD) stipends each participant will get. Software Freedom Conservancy will be in touch with you before the internships begin to get the information it needs for sending you payments. You will have a choice of requesting your payment to be sent as a check (in USD or your local currency), wire transfer, or via PayPal. If you decide to change your payment instructions after you've already provided them, you should use the subject line "Outreachy: change payment instructions for [Your Full Name]" for your e-mail.

Software Freedom Conservancy typically makes its payments on a "NET-30" basis, which means it can take up to 30 days from the date Outreachy sends in an authorization for the payment to make a payment. Recognizing internship structure of Outreachy, Software Freedom Conservancy will make best efforts to send out payments on the early side of the time intervals specified below. However, depending on the workload it has, payments might end up being sent on any date in the specified time interval. You will receive an e-mail from Software Freedom Conservancy when each payment is initiated. Bank transfers from the U.S. can take 1-2 weeks to process, so please wait two weeks after the email before contacting Software Freedom Conservancy about lost payments. Please do not contact Software Freedom Conservancy with inquiries about the status of your payment before the end of each time interval. The table below provides the time intervals during which payments for Outreachy interns will be sent:

The decision about good standing and successful completion will be made by the mentor in consultation with the program coordinators. An intern can request the coordinators to re-review this decision.
