Other Projects Participating In This Winter's Women Outreach Program

While we've covered the X.Org Foundation's inaugural participation in the GNOME OPW women outreach program given our focus at Phoronix on the Linux graphics stack, women looking for other open-source projects to get involved with in the months ahead have a large choice for this winter OPW cycle.

So far it looks like there's just 2~3 women interested in the X.Org program but there's also a lot of other projects involved for Phoronix readers that were assigned female at birth or anyone who identifies as a woman, genderqueer, genderfluid, or genderfree regardless of gender presentation or assigned sex at birth.

The other projects participating in this December to March cycle are Debian, Evergreen, FFmpeg, Foreman, GNOME, the Linux kernel, Mesos / Aurora / Pants, the Open-Source Robotics Foundation, OpenStack, OpenStreetMap, oVirt, Perl, Wikimedia, and the Xen Project. The contributions don't need to be necessarily code related but could be those wishing to help with marketing, documentation, or other tasks needed to keep a healthy open-source project. Participating women are paid $5,500 USD for their three months of work.

I'm bringing up this reminder now as there's only a few weeks left (until 22 October) for interested individuals to submit their applications. Those interested in the latest OPW cycle can learn more from the GNOME Wiki.
