[Outreachy announcement] Outreachy projects still open for contributions

[Sage Sharp - Outreachy Organizer]

The Outreachy contribution period has been open for two weeks. If you're an approved applicant for the December to March internship period, there's still time to make a contribution!

Many Outreachy applicants feel intimidated at the start of the contribution period. It may take you a while to work up the nerve to start on a task or contact a mentor. You've got this! Now's the time to take a deep breath, pick a project, and dive in.

It's important to find a project that is still open to new applicants. There's a few projects which are closed to new applicants, listed under the 'Closed Outreachy Internship Projects' on the project list. If a project isn't in that section, mentors are still accepting new applicants.

Some Outreachy projects have few interested applicants. If you're still looking for a project to contribute to, these projects may be a good opportunity for you! Take a look at the list of projects with a low number of applicants in our latest blog post:
