👋 I'm attempting to aggregate a list of paid, remote internships that support developers who are working on open-source projects:
@Google Summer of Code (@GSOC)
Google Season of Docs
@Outreachy
@RailsGirlsSoC Summer of Code
Are there any other programs missing from this list?

We believe in empowering and elevating marginalized voices directly.
We have given each of our 6 chapters a stipend to donate to the organization that most elevates Black voices in their community.

@WSCSeattle thanks for another lovely event! Wish I could have stayed later, but I overbooked myself. (:
@databae_ , you're a great presenter. The curriculum you put together is well-paced for your audience-- and you taught it with the relaxed patience of a natural teacher. 🙏🏽
