Xen Project and Outreachy
The Xen Project Advisory Board will be sponsoring two interns for Round 11 of Outreachy (formerly known as the GNOME Outreach Program) which runs from Dec 7, 2015 to March 7, 2016. Outreachy helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software get involved. Our goal is to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in the Xen Project. It is an expansion of the very successful GNOME Outreach Program for Women and we are running the program in conjunction with GNOME and other prominent open source projects.
