Once again, GNOME is considering participating in the Outreachy internship program. Outreachy provides internships to people subject to systemic bias and impacted by under-representation in the tech industry where they live.

Outreachy internships are funded by the participating communities. While the GNOME Foundation has not yet finalized the budget for this cohort, having a strong list of proposed projects and available mentors helps the Board decide how many slots to fund.

Project ideas will be selected based on available funding and their relevance to the overall goals of the GNOME project. Project selection will be handled by Matthias Clasen, Allan Day, and Sri Ramkrishna.

If you are a GNOME developer/maintainer available for mentoring between December 2026 and March 2027, please submit a project proposal at gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/internship/project-ideas as soon as possible (by September 11).

If you have any questions, you can contact the Internship Committee on Matrix or ask on Discourse .
