If you're a man and are gender queer or gender fluid you could always apply here: http://kernelnewbies.org/OPWApply http://kernelnewbies.org/OPWApply If you happen to be a person of color or disabled you could always apply here: http://www.findinternships.com/2013/04/Explore-Microsoft-Internship-Program.html#.UskHX5CJAjA http://www.findinternships.com/2013/04/Explore-Microsoft-Int... Or if you happen to be a straight white man you can apply for one of hundreds of linux kernel internships already dominated by straight white men (e.g. http://jobs.akamai.com/job/Cambridge-Linux-Kernel-System-Software-Engineer-Summer-Intern-Job-MA-02138/30110900/?feedId=1016&utm_source=SimplyHired&utm_campaign=Akamai_GlobalMedia http://jobs.akamai.com/job/Cambridge-Linux-Kernel-System-Sof...)

Interesting how the first link doesn't define "gender queer" or "gender fluid". How do you verify the feelings of a person about their gender? I reject gender as a system entirely, does that make me "gender fluid"? Doesn't OPW stand for "Outreach Program for Women?"

I'm genuinely curious about what they mean by 'gender queer': OPW stands for Outreach Program for Woman, which makes me suspect they're including that phrase to try to prevent drawing any lines re 'what is a woman', so I'm a tad curious about their stance on accepting a non-effeminate gay male in the OPW program. If not, according to the article I'm out of luck because I don't qualify for GSoC either. Sad face. Genuinely interested in alternatives to GSoC and/or other avenues for jumping in to the Linux Kernel.
