Session: 10+ years of Outreachy!
Outreachy, a diversity initiative that provides remote paid internships to work on critical free software projects, is over 10 years old in its current incarnation! While the free software community has had to make conferences like ATO and other activities remote during the pandemic, Outreachy was poised to expand to provide much needed opportunities to people who need them most. This talk will share the origins of the program and how it has changed over the years. We’ll look at what’s happened with the program over the years and feature our lessons learned.
