Maps and Outreachy

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 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.

For this period (December 2015 - March 2016) Maps has two Outreachy interns!

Both interns are doing awesome work and we are very very lucky to have them! Maps needs them and also you! For doing design, code evaluation of infrastructure and work flow!
