[OH-Alumni] paid opportunities to spend the summer working on open source

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

Hello Open Source Comes to Campus alumni,

The Google Summer of Code deadline may be today, but there are still a
number of paid summer internships available to students (and some to
non-students as well, for those of you who've already graduated).  I've
listed them below for you. The deadlines are coming soon, so don't delay!

If you have questions, feel free to ask us on our openhatch IRC
channel<http://openhatch.readthedocs.org/en/latest/community/contact.html>
.

* The GNOME Outreach Project for
Women<https://wiki.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen>is like Google
Summer of Code, but smaller, not exclusively focused on code
contributions, and restricted to people assigned female at birth and/or
identifying as a woman, genderqueer, genderfluid, or genderfree (regardless
of assignment at birth).  It's also not limited to students. The deadline
this year is *March 31st*.

* Rails Girls Summer of Code <http://railsgirlssummerofcode.org/> is a
relatively new program (this is their second year) sponsoring work on Rails
and Ruby open source projects.  People who self-identify as female or have
experience being socialized female are given preference during selection.
 The program is not limited to students, but professional developers should
not apply.  The deadline this year is *May 2nd*.

* Wikimedia's Individual Engagement
Grants<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG>support "projects
that provide opportunities to reach the Wikimedia
movement's goal of spreading participation in free culture across
boundaries of language, gender, and geography. We seek out opportunities
for growth in under-represented demographics, smaller and newer Wikimedia
projects, and communities in the global south."  These grants are ideal for
people who are already involved in the Wikimedia community and have their
own ideas about how to improve it!  The deadline this year is *March 31st*.

* Khan Academy <https://www.khanacademy.org/careers/interns>, the
non-profit education website, is looking for software developer interns "to
create a free virtual classroom for the world".  Their website does not
list an application deadline.

* The X.Org Endless Vacation of Code <http://www.x.org/wiki/XorgEVoC/> is a
program sponsoring students to work on the X Window System.  They encourage
a broad range of proposals, especially technical documentation.  The
program is not limited to the summer, and has no application deadline.
