Greetings potential Linux kernel Outreachy interns!

Please read this *entire* email, even if you have applied in the past.

What is Outreachy?
---------------------------

The next application round for Outreachy internships starts February
18, 2019 and ends March 26, 2019.  Outreachy interns will be paid
$5,500 to work on a full-time internship with an open source mentor
from May 20, 2019 to August 20, 2019. Interns will also be granted a
$500 travel stipend to go to any conference approved by their mentor
that relates to their project.

Who can apply?
-----------------------

To qualify to apply for Outreachy, you MUST complete eligibility
criteria here: https://www.outreachy.org/apply/eligibility/ and
contact the Outreachy organizers
(https://www.outreachy.org/contact/organizers/) if you will be in
school between May 20, 2019 to August 20, 2019 or have any questions
about your eligibility.

What Outreachy projects can you apply to?
-------------------------------------------------------------

There will be several different open source projects participating in
this round of Outreachy. The full list can be found here:

https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/

The Linux kernel expects to offer eight projects, which are already
listed on on Linux kernel community page on Outreachy website and will
be visible to applicants only after they complete the eligibility
check.

How do I apply to the Linux kernel project via Outreachy's website?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Fill out the eligibility check form on the Outreachy website

2. Work on Linux kernel tutorial

    Basically, applicants will need to walk through our tutorial for
creating their first Linux kernel patch:
http://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch

    It is not necessary to contact a mentor before starting the tutorial.

3. Work on cleanup patches

     As specified in our tutorial we require Outreachy applicants to
first get accepted at least 10 Staging driver cleanup patches.

4. Once your first patch is accepted, add that as a contribution for
the project(s)you're interested in applying for. This will then allow
you to submit an application. Note that you'll need to apply for each
project separately.

5. Once applicants have completed working on 10 cleanup patches, we
encourage applicants to move on to complete some small tasks outlined
by the mentors. It’s preferable to CC the mentor when you are  working
on the task so that they don’t miss it. Small tasks for the projects
can be found in the project detail here:

    https://www.outreachy.org/2018-may-august/communities/linux-kernel/

    Note that you'll be able to see the detailed information about
projects on Outreachy's website only after completing eligibility form
check.

6. Keep editing your 'project contribution' on Outreachy's website
based on your accepted patches links and project specific completion
of tasks

7. Make sure to add your project preferences under the question
'Community-specific Questions' in the application

Applicants should also join the #outreachy IRC channel on
irc.gnome.org, and the #kernel-outreachy channel on irc.oftc.net.  If
you're having trouble with IRC, please ask for help on this mailing
list.

If you’ve applied in the Outreachy before, you’re still required to
send few staging driver cleanup patches to re-familiarize yourself
with the process before you start to work on tasks.

There is a tips section at the end of the tutorial to outline what
behaviors we look for in potential Outreachy interns. I hope this will
give more insight into our selection process.

All the best!
