Please consider applying for one of theses opportunities or help spread
the word. Here is the information about internships:

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers students stipends
to write code for projects from 190 participating FOSS organizations.
Participants work remotely from home, while getting guidance from an
assigned mentor and collaborating within their project’s community. The
application deadline for Google Summer of Code is March 21 and the
program dates are May 19 to August 18. The stipend for the program is
$5,500 (USD).

In an effort to improve the gender diversity in FOSS, a number of
organizations are offering Outreach Program for Women internships
through a program organized by the GNOME Foundation. These internships
are open to women (cis and trans) and genderqueer. The internships have
the same structure, the same stipend and similar program dates. The
application deadline for the Outreach Program for Women is March 19 and
the program dates are May 19 to August 18. Unlike in Google Summer of
Code, participants do not need to be students and non-coding projects
are available. In addition to coding, projects include such tasks as
graphic design, user experience design, documentation, bug triage and
community engagement.

To apply for either program, you need to connect with a participating
organization early, select a project you want to work on, create a
project plan, and make a few relevant contributions.
