During the Internship#

Congratulations! You have been selected to complete an internship with JupyterHub! This page describes what you can expect to happen next.

Welcome!#

Welcome to the community! Before the first week of the internship, you should receive an email from the Community Coordinator introducing you to your mentor, explaining how to setup a recurring meeting with them, along with other norms of JupyterHub, such as: our Code of Conduct and who to report to if there is a need, the social channels we use to communicate, etc.

Meetings with your mentor#

You will be asked to setup regular, recurring meetings with your mentor for the duration of the internship. Once a week for 30 minutes is a good starting point, but you can adjust as you and your mentor see fit.

Remember, you and your mentor are likely to be in different timezones! So try to suggest times that are workable but respectful. For instance, try to avoid first thing in morning, last thing at night, and lunchtimes - unless you’ve been explicitly told that it’s ok!

Communicating with your fellow interns#

For groups of interns working simultaneously with JupyterHub, there is a dedicated gitter channel where you can ask each other questions and help each other.

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/jupyterhub/outreachy

Feedback#

You will be asked to provide feedback to Outreachy at set points throughout the course of your internship. This is for Outreachy to check that you are getting the support you need, and to help improve the overall programme. Your mentors will not see what you have written. They will be providing their own feedback.

Extending your internship#

If necessary and agreed upon by your mentors and the Outreachy organisers, your internship may be extended in order to help you complete the project. Note that you will not be paid extra for this extension and your final stipend from Outreachy will be delayed. This is a big decision that no one will make lightly, and it will only be used if absolutely necessary.

(Optional) Cohort calls#

You may also be invited to participate in Cohort Calls. These are calls designed to bring you and other interns working on JupyterHub together to collaborate and learn about more broader aspects of open source, such as code review.

These calls will be scheduled with you in advance by the Community Coordinator.
