+Title: Help empower the Debian Outreach Program for Women

+
+Debian is thrilled to participate in the 9th round of
+the [GNOME FOSS Outreach Program](http://gnome.org/opw/).
+While OPW is similar to
+[Google Summer of Code](https://www.google-melange.com/) it has
+a winter session in addition to a summer session and is
+open to non-students.
+
+Back at [DebConf 14](http://debconf14.debconf.org/) several of us
+decided to volunteer because we want to increase diversity in Debian.
+Shortly thereafter the [DPL](https://www.debian.org/devel/leader) announced
+[Debian's participation in OPW 2014](https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2014/08/msg00078.html).
+
+We have reached out to several corporate sponsors and are thrilled
+that so far [Intel](http://http://www.intel.com) has agreed to fund an intern slot (in addition to the slot
+offered by the DPL)! While that makes two funded slots we have
+a third sponsor that has offered a challenge match: for each dollar donated
+by an individual to Debian the sponsor will donate another dollar for
+Debian OPW.
+
+This is where we need your help! If we can raise $3,125 by October 22
+that means we can mentor a third intern ($6,250). Please
+spread the word and donate today if you can at: [http://debian.ch/opw2014/](http://debian.ch/opw2014/)
+
+If you'd like to participate as intern, the application deadline is
+the same (October 22nd). You can find out more on the [Debian Wiki](http://wiki.debian.org/OutreachProgramForWomen).
