I've mostly been quiet lately since a lot of what I've been doing is wrestling with Linux test bots that behave slightly differently from other Linux test bots, and that's not very useful to write about (plus, if I did, it would mostly be swearing). However, I do want to make an exciting announcement! Copied verbatim from the mailing list:
Hello,
This year, the Rust and Servo projects are participating in the GNOME
Outreach Program for Women (OPW). OPW is an opportunity for women to
take on a paid, full-time, three-month internship working on one of
several open-source projects. Interns can be located anywhere in the
world and will primarily work from home; some funding will be available
to travel to meet with the project mentors for a brief period of time.
This is the third time that Mozilla has participated as a source of
project mentors, but it's the first time that the Rust and Servo
projects specifically have participated. We're very excited about this
and encourage you to apply if you're a woman who's interested in Rust.
(OPW is an inclusive program: as per their information for applicants,
"This program is open to anyone who is a female assigned at birth and
anyone who identifies as a woman, genderqueer, genderfluid, or
genderfree regardless of gender presentation or assigned sex at birth.
Participants must be at least 18 years old at the start date of the
internship.") If you're not eligible, please spread the word to any
eligible individuals you know who have any interest in Rust or Servo.
No previous experience with Rust is required, but we do request some
experience with C and systems programming, and of course people who have
previously used Rust may make faster progress.
The deadline to apply is November 11.
The details are available at:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/GNOME_Outreach_December2013 (specific to Mozilla)
https://wiki.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen (applying to OPW)
If you are not a woman, but interested in an internship working on Rust,
never fear! If you are currently enrolled in an undergraduate or
graduate program, you can apply for an internship at Mozilla Research
for the winter, spring, or summer term. (Note that OPW is open to both
students and non-students.) We will be announcing this program to the
mailing list as well as soon as the details are finalized.
If you have any questions, please join #opw on irc.mozilla.org and/or
contact Tim Chevalier (tchevalier at mozilla.com, tjc on IRC) (Rust contact
person) or Lars Bergstrom (lbergstrom at mozilla.com, lbergstrom on IRC)
(Servo contact person).
I'm coordinating Mozilla's involvement in OPW this year as well as any potential Rust projects (others may end up mentoring interns depending on the intern's preferred project, but the buck stops with me), so I'd be very grateful if readers would publicize this notice to relevant venues, as well as direct any questions to me (via email, IRC, or in a comment on this post).
