Outreachy's goal is to support people from groups underrepresented in the technology industry. Outreachy interns will work remotely with mentors on projects ranging from programming, user experience, documentation, illustration and graphic design, to data science. Outreachy interns will receive stipends for developing said projects full-time for three months. Katia Rojas – could you add your report here?


  1. We sent emails calling for mentors. [1]
  2. We created a blog post announcing Outreachy at ASF and updated it to include new information. [2]
  3. To create a friction log template, we opened a discussion in the dev@ mailing list and asked the community for their ideas and input regarding what a friction log should contain, how could we track these characteristics/conditions and their experiences with it. [3]
  4. We offered a workshop to scope projects and answer questions to potential mentors. [4]
  5. Three projects have been submitted but only two were approved. We are waiting for some answers from Outreachy regarding the rejected project. [5]
  6. Currently we have 4 mentors approved. 
  7. We started to use Confluence meeting notes templates to track our meetings. [6]
  8. We decided to migrate previous meeting minutes to Confluence to create a report that includes all action items, to make the process more transparent. 


More detailed reports on this work can be found on their update minutes[37].
