Outreachy timeline and status report

Outreachy timeline and status report

[Gábor Boskovits]

The timeline is available here:
https://www.outreachy.org/apply/project-selection/

Every date refers to 4 p.m. UTC that day.

We kindly request proposals to be available by the 11th of February,
so that it will be possible to promote them on the Outreachy Twitter
chat.

Please remind prospective applicants, that the initial application
deadline is the 25th of February.

The contribution period is between March 5, April 7. Please note that
registering a contribution is a mandatory requirement for an applicant
to be selected as an intern.
Reminder to mentors: the contribution period is usually the most busy
period of the mentoring activity, as handling multiple contribution
request at the same time might be necessary.
Including information in patches that they are related to outreachy
might help reviewers to give these some priority. You can use the
--subject-prefix option of git-format-patch for that.

Please do not notify interns about the selection result before the
official announcement, as this is forbidden by Outreachy policy.
Announcement expected at April 27.

Thanks for sharing.  If you want we can add another post on the web site
by then to publicize the offer.  WDYT?  Any other ways we could spread
the news?

BTW, i18n for the Guix Data Service is no longer listed as a project.
Is that intentional?

Thank you!

Ludo’.

I intend to write up a blogpost and publish it on Monday. We also have the
twitter chat.

It got in not long ago. It was already approved. At the time on the first
writing the proposal was not uploaded yet.
