-<h1>Women's Summer Outreach Program 2006</h1>
-
-<p>Following on from GNOME's participation in Google's Summer of Code, we've decided to sponsor three projects in a similar fashion to the Summer of Code, but for women only. GNOME had no Summer of Code applications from women, and we think it's time to do something to encourage more women to join our development community.</p>
-<p><b>Update</b>, 2006-07-01: The selected projects have been announced! They are:
+<h1>Support women participation in GNOME!</h1>
-<div style="margin-left: 1em; padding: 0.5em; border: 1px solid black;">

-<th>Student</th><th>Project</th>

-<tr><td>Clare So</td><td>Editing MathML Expressions in GtkMathView</td></tr>

-<tr><td>Monia Ghobadi</td><td>Integrating GNU screen with gnome-terminal</td></tr>
-<tr><td>Umran Kamar</td><td>An Evince plugin for Mozilla</td></tr>

+<div>
+The GNOME community strives to provide a free desktop for everyone, which certainly includes women users and contributors. Yet, GNOME has relatively few women contributors. Out of hundreds of the Google Summer of Code proposals GNOME receives each year, few, if any, proposals are from women candidates. <a href="http://gnomejournal.org/article/48/the-womens-summer-outreach-program"; target="_blank">The Women Summer Outreach Program</a> that GNOME ran in 2006 showed that there are many qualified women candidates out there, but that the program needs to be targeted directly at them to make them realize that they are welcome in the Free Software community and to let them know they can make a difference.
</div>
-<p><b>Update</b>, 2006-06-30: We're thrilled to announce that the number of accepted projects is being doubled from three to six, thanks to funding from Google. We'll be announcing the list of <b>six</b> accepted projects tomorrow, July 1st, by e-mail. Thanks, Google!</p>
-
-<h3>How will it work?</h3>
-
-<p>This summer, GNOME will sponsor three female students to hack on GNOME-related projects from the comfort of their own home, as an internship. Each project will last two months, and each participant will receive a stipend of 3,000 US$.
-
-<h3>What will I work on?</h3>
-
-<p>You can submit your own proposal for how to improve GNOME, or choose from our list of <a href="http://live.gnome.org/SummerOutreachProjects";>potential projects</a>.</p>
-
-<h3>Am I qualified enough? What are the requirements?</h3>
-
-<p>We don't require you to be a Computer Science student, or even to have a good GPA; what we'll look for most is a well thought-out idea that you're enthusiastic about. You don't need to be the world's greatest coder to take part, since several mentors will be assigned to get you up to speed and help with any problems. If you're worried about whether you're suitable, feel free to <a href="mailto:gnome-wsop-list gnome org">ask us</a> what we think.</p>
-
-<h3>When?</h3>
-
-<p>The application phase has finished now, and the projects will run from July 1st-September 1st.</p>
+<br>
-<h3>Where can I read more?</h3>
-
-<p>While this project isn't affiliated with Google, Google's Summer of Code <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/studentfaq.html";>Student FAQ</a> contains many questions and answers that may be relevant — please e-mail us at <a href="mailto:gnome-wsop-list gnome org">gnome-wsop-list gnome org</a> if there's something you aren't clear on.</p>
-
-<h3>Isn't this unfair to men? What about people who were rejected from Google's Summer of Code?</h3>
-
-<p>The recent <a href="http://www.flosspols.org/deliverables/FLOSSPOLS-D16-Gender_Integrated_Report_of_Findings.pdf";>FLOSSPOLS report</a> describes many opportunities that women miss out on when getting involved with computing and free software, ranging from being introduced to computers at a later age, being less encouraged to specialise in computing, having few female role models, having less free time to spend programming than men do, and being on the receiving end of sexism when they do try to get involved. We think it's this imbalance that's unfair, and we're trying to help fix it.</p>
-
-<p>As for whether this is unfair to Summer of Code applicants, we don't think so – this is GNOME's money to use how it sees fit, and we want to use it to correct a disturbing lack of participation from women in the GNOME development community. We're doing this for outreach reasons as well as for technical ones, and so just adding another three projects to the twenty Summer of Code projects being sponsored wouldn't achieve our stated goals. If you'd like to talk about this with us, feel free to get in touch</a>.</p>
-
-<h3>Who's running this?</h3>
-
-<p>This project is being run by the <a href="http://foundation.gnome.org/";>GNOME Foundation</a>. The program coordinators (Chris Ball, Hanna Wallach and Vincent Untz) are happy to answer any questions you have about the program via e-mail to <a href="mailto:gnome-wsop-list gnome org">gnome-wsop-list gnome org</a>.</p>
-
-<h3>Press enquiries</h3>
+<div>
+The Free Software community has several ongoing discussions about increasing women participation, such as <a href="http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/Womenscaucus/9.19.2009"; target="_blank">the plans made at the FSF mini-summit</a> and <a href="http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Online/Blogs/ROSE-Blog-Rikki-s-Open-Source-Exchange"; target="_blank">the ROSE blog interviews with women in Free Software</a>. The GNOME community would like to be a part of this effort by creating a Women Outreach Program that will encourage women participation throughout the year and create internship opportunities in the summer.
+</div>
-Please see our <a href="http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/wsop.html";>press release</a> for further details.
+<br>
+
+<strong>Our goals are to:</strong>
+<ul>
+<li>Improve the resources available to all newcomers for getting involved in GNOME</li>
+<li>Reach more women with the information about how exciting, varied and valuable work on GNOME or any other Free Software can be</li>
+<li>Encourage women to contribute to GNOME</li>
+<li>Enable several women to work on a GNOME project with a mentor and receive a stipend</li>
+<li>Provide the background for women to start their own Free Software projects or pursue careers in the Free Software industry</li>
+</ul>
+
+<strong>Here is how you can get involved:</strong>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWomen/OutreachProgram"; target="_blank">Learn more</a> about our ideas for the program</li>
+<li><a href="http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWomen/OutreachProgram#participating-projects"; target="_blank">Offer to be a mentor</a> by adding your project on the wiki</li>
+<li><a href="mailto:women-outreach gnome org">Let us know</a> you'll be interested in participating</li>
+</ul>
+<div>
+<strong>We need your help</strong> raising money for the stipends for the summer participants to make this part of the program possible. Please make a donation to GNOME and add a comment that it is towards the Women Outreach Program.
+</div>
+<br>
+<!-- TODO: Change this button to something that takes the visitor to the donation page for the dedicated account. -->
+<!-- Perhaps it can be http://www.gnome.org/friends/step2.php with the appropriate information filled in. -->
