[openstack-community] Outreachy: Call for Funding, Mentors
Hi everyone, Quick update on the Outreachy <https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/> program, including a request for funding and volunteer mentors. For those of you who are not aware, Outreachy helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software get involved by matching interns with established mentors in the upstream community. There have been a record 30 intern applicants and 11 volunteer mentors for OpenStack this next cycle, which will take place Dec 7, 2015 - March 7, 2016. The OpenStack program coordinators could use a few more volunteer mentors, and there has been specific interest in Ceilometer, Cinder, Horizon, Murano, Neutron, Nova, Sahara and Zaqar. You can learn more about what is expected from mentors and how to apply here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors> Additionally, the Foundation agreed to sponsor five interns, but we could use some additional sponsors to help support the large increase in OpenStack applicants. The sponsorship cost is 6,500 USD per intern, which provide them a stipend for the three-month program. You can learn more about sponsorship here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/Admin/InfoForOrgs#Action <https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/Admin/InfoForOrgs#Action> I personally believe Outreachy is one of the most important and effective diversity efforts we’ve invested in to date. We’ve had some amazing graduates become long-term contributors to our community. I cannot give enough praise and thanks to the program coordinators (Victoria Martinez de la Cruz and Mahati Chamarthy for OpenStack), volunteer mentors, and sponsors for making it possible. Please help spread the word. If you are interested in becoming a mentor or sponsoring an intern, please contact Victoria (victoria@vmartinezdelacruz.com <mailto:victoria@vmartinezdelacruz.com>) or me (lauren@openstack.org <mailto:lauren@openstack.org>). Thanks, Lauren

I haven't been able to complete my mentor application. Been trying daily since last week, but the OpenID login just gives some random PHP errors. :( -- Mike Perez
Hey Mike, If you experience any issues with OpenID login, please feel free to reach-out the infra team at #openstack-infra IRC channel. They can check it, sometimes specific IP addresses are banned due to suspicious traffic patterns.

In this case I expect he's talking about problems setting up an account on the Gnome project's Outreachy site. If so, the OpenStack Infra team doesn't really have any visibility into it. -- Jeremy Stanley
Yeah, if it's the Gnome's OpenID login, then we cannot help. M. On Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 2:29 PM Jeremy Stanley <fungi@yuggoth.org> wrote:
