<h2>About</h2>
- <p>Outreachy is the successor of the Outreach Program for Women (OPW). OPW was inspired by
Google Summer of Code and by how few women applied for it. The GNOME Foundation first started OPW with one
round in 2006, and then resumed the effort in 2010 with rounds organized twice a year. In the May 2012 round,
Software Freedom Conservancy joined OPW with one internship with the Twisted project. In the January 2013
round, many other free and open source organizations joined the program. For the May 2015 round, the program
was renamed to Outreachy with the goal of expanding to engage people from various underrepresented groups and
was moved to Software Freedom Conservancy as its organizational home.</p>

being open to women (cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people internationally.

<p>This program is a welcoming link that connects <strong>talented and passionate
newcomers</strong> with people working in free and open source software and guides them through their first
contribution. Through Outreachy, participants learn how exciting and valuable work on software freedom can
be, while helping us to build a more inclusive community. </p>
