Hi everyone!

Once again, the OCaml community has signed up to Outreachy (see past posts)!

What is Outreachy?

Outreachy is a paid, remote internship program. Outreachy promotes diversity in open source and open science. Our internships are for people who face under-representation, and discrimination or systemic bias in the technology industry of their country.

The current round is still ongoing with an intern making great progress on ocaml-api-watch with @NathanReb and @panglesd.

Important Dates

For this next round, the important dates are as follows (these are always subject to some change):

Our next deadline is for mentors to sign up to the OCaml community with a project idea. Please do consider being an Outreachy mentor. If you have any questions or ideas you can always reach out to me directly. If you need a refresher of past projects, there’s a dedicated page on the OCaml website: OCaml Outreachy Internships.

The OCaml community is currently able to financially support Outreachy internships thanks to the generous support of Tarides and Janestreet.

Thanks! :camel:

Hello!

I am an outreachy applicant, while I am wating for my initial application to get approved (hopefully), I am preparing for the contribution phase.

What are the prerequisites to contributing to OCaml and where should start?

Thankyou!

Welcome to the OCaml community! Right now we don’t have any projects so there’s no specific instructions for getting started/contributing.

If this is your first time with OCaml, I recommend some of the following resources:

This should help you get up and running. Do check back on the Outreachy website for specific OCaml projects that might interest you!
