Hi, all FOSS Outreach Program for Women participants need to sign in as
candidates or mentors at https://opw.gnome.org/
Mentors can find specific documentation at
https://wiki.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/Admin/System
The deadline for submissions is Oct 22 2014, 07:00 pm UTC
Selection decisions will be posted on Nov 12 2014, 07:00 pm UTC
As a novelty in Round 9, all Ascend Project participants, regardless of
gender, are welcome to apply. Ascent is a mentorship and barrier-removing
accelerator program designed to explicitly invite, include, and support
adult learners in making a first technical contribution to Open Source
software.

After some discussions, this is a first step expanding this outreach
program to other groups under-represented in the free software community.
I'm personally very happy to see actual progress! Kudos to the GNOME
Foundation and the FOSS OPW supporters.
