Greetings potential Linux kernel Outreachy interns!  Please read this
*entire* email, even if you have applied in the past, as some things have
changed for this application round.


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

The next application round for Outreachy internships starts tomorrow,
September 29 and ends November2.  Outreachy interns are paid $5,500 to work
on a full-time internship with an open source mentor from December 7, 2015
to March 7, 2016.  Interns are also 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 meet the following requirements:

 * You must be over 18,
 * You must be able to work full-time (40 hours per week) from December 7,
   2015 to March 7, 2016,
 * You must not have school obligations for more than a short period during
   December 7, 2015 to March 7, 2016, unless 50% or more of your school
   time is a project course, and the internship is being done as the project,
 * You must be a woman (cis or trans), or a gender queer, gender free, or
   gender fluid individual, or a resident or national of the United States
   of any gender who is Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, American
   Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander, and
 * You cannot have been an Outreachy intern or Google Summer of Code intern
   before.

Note that the explicit constraint about school obligations is new for
Outreachy, but it has been applied informally for the Linux kernel in the past.

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

There will be several different open source projects participating in
this round of Outreachy, and the full list is available at the link below.

https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/2015/DecemberMarch#Participating_Organizations

The Linux kernel expects to offer five projects, most of which are already
listed on our wiki.

How do I apply to the Linux kernel project?
-------------------------------------------

The application process for the Linux kernel project is outlined here:

http://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyApply

Basically, applicants will need to walk through our tutorial for
creating their first Linux kernel patch:

http://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch

Applicants should also join the #opw 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.

As in the last Outreachy round, we are encouraging applicants (once they
have completed a number of Staging driver cleanup patches) to complete some
small tasks outlined by the mentors.  The task lists for each mentor are
linked from the OutreachyIntro page.

*Before* you start on a task, please claim that task through this page:

http://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyTasks

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.

We've also noticed that applicants (and even accepted interns!) aren't
consistently using the email communication style preferred by the Linux
kernel community.  This style can be as important as coding style to
many community members, so please review the email style guidelines and
attempt to follow them:

When can I apply?
-----------------

The application period for the Linux kernel project during Outreachy Round 11
is September 29 to November 2.

Good luck with your application!  If you have any questions, mentors
will be available via IRC or this mailing list.  Do not hesitate to ask
questions if you get stuck in the tutorial.
