The Outreachy application deadline is Monday, 17 October at 19:00 UTC
Anybody interested in mentoring, at this stage, the best thing to do is simply promote the program and help answer questions on the mailing lists. After the application deadline, we can see the number of applicants and discuss how to proceed.
Every potential intern needs to register in the GNOME registration system before the deadline: https://outreachy.gnome.org
Interns: don't wait for the last minute, servers often crash in the hour before an important deadline.
In the application, it asks you to propose a timeline for your work. Pick one or more of the tasks from project.freertc.org (or any other bugs listed in Github or elsewhere) and make a list of them in the order you would work on them.
Every applicant needs to make a small contribution to a project before the deadline. Simply trying to compile one of the projects and sending a public email about your experience doing that will be sufficient but it is better if you try to fix some bug or make some small improvement to the code. If a mentor hasn't already given you a small task, simply pick one of the projects depending on your preferred programming language:
Java: https://github.com/opentelecoms-org/omnidial
Java/Android: https://lumicall.org
C++ reSIProcate - use this script to prepare for compile: https://github.com/resiprocate/resiprocate/blob/master/build/debian.sh
JavaScript https://jscommunicator.org
For any general questions about Outreachy and Debian terms and conditions, please ask in the debian-outreach mailing list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-outreach/ or the IRC channel #debian-outreach on the OFTC network
Please ask any question about the topic itself on this Free-RTC mailing list
I'd like to emphasize that the Outreachy program has significantly less funding than the GSoC program and far fewer interns are selected. Anybody who does submit an Outreachy application can be considered for GSoC 2017 as well and we have had many cases where applications are not accepted in Outreachy but were subsequently successful in applying for GSoC. Many of the details from the Outreachy application can be cut-and-pasted for a GSoC application too so please keep a copy of everything you put in the application. Please make sure you tell us if you also want to apply for GSoC 2017.
If you are not sure what to include in your application, please see the suggestions I provided to GSoC students this year: https://wiki.debian.org/GSoC/StudentWikiPages but submit your details through the Outreachy web site, not the Debian wiki.
Regards,
Daniel
Hi Daniel, I was going through the feature request listed for Lumicall at https://project.freertc.org/projects/lumicall/issues
I cannot find details about most of them. Can you please provide detailed description about these?

For anybody wanting to work on Lumicall in Outreachy or GSoC 2017, I would suggest picking one of the following themes:
- provisioning
- dialing experience (Omnidial)
- adding more info to the PUBLISH mechanism
