[Outreachy announcement] Outreachy internship deadlines

[Outreachy Organizers]

37 out of 65 Outreachy internship projects have an application deadline of this Thursday, March 22, 2018. Please note that the deadline is 4pm UTC, which may not be the end of the day in your timezone. Please check this link for the correct time: https://www.google.com/search?q=4pm+UTC+to

Applicants will need to record a contribution and finish a final application by the project application deadline in order to be eligible to be selected as an intern. Applicants are encouraged (but not required) to continue working with their mentors on contributions after the application deadline. Applicants can still record and edit contributions to the project on the Outreachy website.

23 Outreachy internship projects have an application deadline of March 29, 2018. If you haven't started a contribution yet, it's best if you start working now with those projects:
https://outreachy.org/apply/project-selection/

If you don't see any links to project details or a link to record a contribution, you either aren't logged in, or you haven't filled out the eligibility form at:
https://www.outreachy.org/eligibility/

If you have any questions about selecting a project, please email the Outreachy mentors mailing list at mentors at lists.outreachy.org and include the skills you currently have and what type of project you're looking for. If you have questions about eligibility, please email the Outreachy organizers organizers at outreachy.org after you have filled out the eligibility form.

If you are having trouble contacting a mentor who has not closed their project to applicants, they may be working with many promising applicants. If you don't get a response back within a day or two, it's best to try contributing and applying to another project.
