<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Outreachy (formerly Outreach Program for Women) is happening
again. The administrators are asking if there is any interest in
participating from the Evergreen community.</p>
<p>I'm also linking to the EOB thread from the last time this
question was raised -

<pre>Hi Kathy,
The Outreachy program is looking for organizations to participate in
round 13. Do you think Evergreen would be willing to participate again?
The round will open on September 12, and the sooner Evergreen is listed,
the more likely you'll get strong applicants.
