I am a fan of this outreach program.. Please consider supporting it,
if only with a few dollars, as little amounts add up.

Donate to the Debian OPW matching fund here: http://debian.ch/opw2014/
Debian is once again participating in the GNOME Outreach Program.
We already have five Debian volunteers ready to mentor interns [1],
but only funds for two interns. Help us get to (at least) three
interns!
One of Debian's sponsors has offered to start a matching fund in USD
to fund Debian's participation in the Gnome Foundation's OPW (Outreach
Program for Women). If we can raise $3,125 by October 22 that means we
can mentor an additional intern ($6,250)!
- For each dollar donated by an individual to Debian through the
mechanism, the sponsor will donate another dollar to Debian
- only donations in USD will be matched
- the sponsor will match the donated funds up to a maximum total of 3 125 USD
- All money raised through this program, will be earmarked for OPW
participation, either in 2014 or in the future
- We need to raise the money for this round by Oct 22nd so please act quickly!
If you want your monetary contribution to be matched by our sponsor,
please visit http://debian.ch/opw2014/ and either chose the Paypal
button, or if you don't have a working Paypal account, please contact
opw-at-debian.org to make alternate payment arrangements.
Thank you for helping increase diversity in Debian and Free and Open
Source Software!
