<div>Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like to propose that we find a way to contribute $5,000 to this initiative. As a woman-dominated profession, I think it is important that we facilitate the growth of women developers of Evergreen. The first question is whether there is a developer
who is willing to do the mentoring? The second question is how do we come up with the money. I propose we contribute some from our tiny account and seek donations for the rest from some of our vendor partners and perhaps some of the libraries themselves.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Hello, all: <br>
<br>
As some of you may recall, Conservancy is supporting the Outreach Program For Women (<a href="https://live.gnome.org/GnomeWomen/OutreachProgram2012" target="_blank">https://live.gnome.org/GnomeWomen/OutreachProgram2012</a>), a GNOME Foundation-initiated program
that provides internships for women interested in FOSS. This past summer, Twisted sponsored an internship.
<br>
<br>
The Outreach Program for Women is in the process of organizing a series of "Winter" internships for early 2013. Conservancy would like to invite our member projects to participate by sponsoring an intern. Sponsorships cost $5,000 (paid as a stipend to the
intern); in addition, projects are to designate a mentor to volunteer his/her time to mentor the intern. So, if anyone in your project is interested in serving as a mentor, and if your Project Leadership Committee is willing to allocate $5,000 from your project
fund to support the program, <u>please let me and Bradley know ASAP</u>. Time is short, so if you're interested let us know and we'll provide you with more details.
<br>
<br>
This is a wonderful opportunity for member projects to support a program that will help grow the pool of prospective contributors to our FOSS communities. If you have any follow up questions, let us know. We hope to hear from you.
<br>
<br>
Thanks! <br>
<br>
Best, -Tony<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
